A series of explosions rocked Russia's Krasnodar Krai on August 25, with reports suggesting a drone strike and subsequent fires at the Afipsky oil refinery, as per independent monitoring sources. The regional governor, Veniamin Kondratyev, confirmed the drone attack, noting that a fire erupted at an "oil processing facility" in the Afipsky village.
He added that emergency responders were on the scene.

The General Staff highlighted that the targeted facility is integral to Russia's military infrastructure.
Ukrainian drones also struck the Novokuibyshevsk Refinery and warehouses of Russian e-commerce giant Ozon in Samara Oblast. Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense contractor, reported that FP-1 drones were utilized in the incident. Ukrainian forces can be followed on Twitter, Facebook, and Google News.
