A fire broke out at the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai overnight between 25 and 26 September, reportedly as the result of an attack, according to Ukrinform, citing Russian media.
Details on the scale of the fire, casualties or the extent of damage to the facility have not been independently confirmed. The incident adds to a series of reported strikes on energy infrastructure inside Russia in recent months amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Refineries and fuel depots in Russian border regions have repeatedly been targeted or reported as damaged during the conflict, with both sides periodically trading claims over strikes on energy and military infrastructure.
Further official confirmation from Russian authorities regarding the cause and impact of the fire was not immediately available.
