A day after Russia accused Ukraine of sending drones to attack buildings in Moscow, the governor of Russia’s Krasnodar region said a drone was the likely cause of a fire that broke out at the Afipsky oil refinery.
The fire was soon extinguished and there were no casualties, governor Veniamin Kondratyev said. The Afipsky refinery is not far from the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, near another refinery that has been attacked several times this month.
Separately, the governor of Russia’s Belgorod region, to the north of Ukraine, says an artillery strike wounded at least one person in the Russian town of Shebekino. He has blamed Kyiv for the attack.
There was no immediate information on who launched the attacks inside Russia, but Moscow has accused Kyiv of a number strikes in recent weeks, while increasing the intensity of its own bombardment on Ukrainian cities.
Russian drone attacks killed one person and wounded four in Kyiv on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian officials – but the skies over Ukraine were relatively quiet overnight.
Ukraine has denied responsibility for Tuesday’s drone strike on Moscow. Kyiv almost never publicly claims responsibility for attacks in Russia.
