An oil facility in Russia's Krasnodar region caught fire Sunday when debris from a destroyed drone crashed onto the property, according to Russian officials. No injuries were reported in the incident, which follows a pattern of drone attacks targeting the region's energy infrastructure.
Russian officials reported Sunday that an oil facility in the Krasnodar region caught fire when wreckage from a destroyed drone crashed onto the property.
Initial reports indicate no one was hurt in the incident.
The affected oil facility sits near Tikhoretsk, the same area where Ukrainian drones hit an oil pumping station last Thursday. Emergency crews put out that earlier fire by Friday.
Officials have not confirmed whether Sunday’s incident involved the same facility that was targeted earlier in the week.
The Tikhoretsk location serves as one of southern Russia’s most significant oil distribution centers and represents the sole supply pathway for petroleum products reaching Novorossiysk, a crucial Black Sea port.
This incident continues a pattern of drone attacks targeting energy infrastructure and port facilities throughout the region.
