Kyiv Struck as Ukraine Targets Russian Refineries, Shadow Fleet

A fire broke out at Russia's Ilsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region due to Ukrainian drone debris, injuring five people, according to the regional task force. This incident is part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, with the Ilsky facility having been hit previously, including in July. The refinery has a design capacity of about 6.6 million tons a year.

In addition to the Ilsky refinery, an unspecified industrial enterprise in the Samara region was attacked by Ukrainian drones overnight, with videos claiming to show a fire near the Syzran refinery. According to Russia's Defense Ministry, air defenses intercepted and destroyed a total of 480 Ukrainian drones.

Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, came under attack by ballistic missiles and drones overnight. The attacks resulted in fires in several districts, including a possible blaze involving fuel tanks. Three people, including a child, were killed in the Kyiv region, and three more were injured, also including a child, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the regional military administration, and Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
