Ukraine hits refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region overnight


MOSCOW, June 28 (Reuters) - ⁠Ukrainian drones struck Russian targets ⁠including an oil refinery in the ‌southern Krasnodar region overnight, local authorities said, as Kyiv continues energy infrastructure attacks that have ​caused acute fuel shortages ⁠in parts of ⁠Russia.

In a statement on Telegram on Sunday, ⁠Krasnodar ‌region governor Veniamin Kondratievsaid that a fire had broken ⁠out at the refinery in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, with ​one ‌person killed and another injured in ⁠a nearby ​village.

Unverified footage on social media showed a large fire at the refinery.

Slavyansk ⁠refinery is a private plant ​with capacity of about 100,000 barrels per day. It supplies fuel for domestic ⁠use and export.

Elsewhere in Russia, the governor of the Yaroslavl region, east of Moscow, said the region had ​come under drone attack ⁠and that temporary limits had been placed ​on movement on ‌some road routes to ​the Russian capital.
