A fire broke out at an oil refinery in northwest Russia after a drone fell nearby. Local authorities confirmed the incident, which occurred at a time of escalation in attacks between the two countries.
The attack is part of the context of an intensified campaign by Ukraine against Russian energy facilities. Kyiv has been regularly targeting Russian oil and energy infrastructure as part of its military strategy.
Russian authorities did not immediately specify the extent of the damage caused by the fire or whether there were any casualties from the drone attack. This type of attack on Russian energy facilities has become more frequent in recent months.
