Drone debris sparks small fire at Russian refinery, authorities say

Russian air defenses intercepted 46 Ukrainian drones targeting key oil infrastructure across multiple regions, with no casualties reported, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Russia's air defence units shot down 46 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 11 over Volgograd Oblast and 15 over Bryansk Oblast, the defence ministry said.
  • The strikes targeted the Unecha linear production and dispatch station in Vysokoye village, with debris falling on the Slavyansk-on-Kuban oil refinery, which was extinguished Wednesday.
  • Local videos showed damage to a residential tower after debris fell on a 16-story residential building in the Traktorozavodsky district of Volgograd, forcing residents to leave.
  • Authorities dispatched teams to assess damage, and the mayor organized evacuations and shelters, as the defence ministry said, with emergency responses ongoing.
  • Damage to the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka refinery in the Krasnoarmeysky district appears to target supply chains, as the Slavyansk refinery processes around 100,000 barrels per day.
