A Ukrainian drone strike marked the beginning of a fire at Kirishi oil refinery, one of the largest fuel facilities in the country, early Saturday. The officials in Russia verified that the fire was incited by the drone debris dropping over the plant. No casualties were reported, and the fire was quickly contained and extinguished, officials said.
The Defence Ministry of Russia reported that it had shot down over 80 Ukrainian drones overnight in various regions. The incident underscores the growing drone campaign by Ukraine against Russian energy infrastructure, as a measure to interfere with fuel supplies that Moscow uses to wage war.
