The Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region halted operations after a Ukrainian drone attack on September 26, according to Ukrainian defense technology company Fire Point. Ukrainian-made FP-1 drones targeted three primary oil processing units and a storage tank facility, rendering the refinery inoperable. Fire Point reported that the strike resulted in significant damage, prompting the suspension of the refinery's operations.
The Ilsky refinery, with an annual processing capacity of around 6.6 million metric tons of crude oil, not only refines and stores oil but also produces and ships petroleum products. Additionally, the facility supplies petroleum products to meet the needs of the Russian military, as acknowledged by Ukrainian sources. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had earlier confirmed that the Ilsky refinery, along with other facilities in Russia's Krasnodar region, was hit by Ukrainian forces.
The drone attack unfolded amid a broader campaign by Ukraine targeting Russian oil and energy infrastructure supporting Moscow's military operations.
