Summary

Reports say drones struck the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai, southern Russia, on the night of November 6, 2026. Explosions were heard near the facility and a fire broke out at the plant, with heavy smoke reaching the outskirts of Krasnodar. Ukraine has not commented on its possible involvement. Russia's defense ministry said it intercepted 142 Ukrainian drones overnight, and Kyiv Independent has not confirmed the attack. Local officials had not confirmed the fire's cause at the time of the reports, which said the falling drone debris was a likely source. The refinery, one of the largest in the region, was placed under EU sanctions in April.
