Summary

Overnight on November 6, drones reportedly struck the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai, southern Russia, starting a fire at the site. Explosions were heard near the facility and smoke from the plant reached the outskirts of Krasnodar. Russia's regional headquarters attributed a fire at an enterprise in Afipsk to falling drone debris without naming the facility, and Russia's defense ministry said it downed 142 Ukrainian drones overnight. Ukraine has not confirmed involvement, and Kyiv Independent has not confirmed the attack. Reports also describe this as the sixth Russian oil plant hit in a week as part of a renewed Ukrainian campaign against Russian energy facilities.
