Russian refinery and Taganrog seaport ablaze after drone attacks

Russia's Ilsky oil refinery in the southern Krasnodar region caught fire after a drone attack, while authorities in the city of Taganrog evacuated people following a separate strike, local officials said on Friday.

No one was injured, according to preliminary information, the authorities said.

Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russia's energy and other infrastructure in recent months to undermine Moscow's war effort. The Ilsky refinery, with a capacity of around 138,000 barrels per day, has been attacked several times before.

The attacks on oil refineries have resulted in fuel shortages, long queues at the filling stations and fuel price rises across Russia.
