An inferno broke out at a fuel processing plant in southern Krasnodar Krai on Saturday following a series of aerial explosions. The Ukrainian military confirmed that its unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the Ilsky oil refinery on September 26, which local residents reported was engulfed in flames. Regional authorities stated that three people died during the strikes in the Krasnodar region.

The attack used AFU UAVs to target energy infrastructure in southern Russia during the morning hours. While the Ilsky facility remains on fire, official reports have not specified the loss of oil processing capacity or the total volume of structural damage.
