Officials said drone strikes hit oil facilities and a port, and Russia reported 376 drones intercepted overnight.

  • On Friday, the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region caught fire after a drone attack, while separate strikes hit two fuel depots and a seaport in Taganrog.
  • The Russian Defence Ministry intercepted 376 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Thursday night and Friday morning.
  • Taganrog Mayor Svetlana Kambulova ordered evacuations for residents near the seaport, noting that debris damaged a private house and ignited the roof of an administrative building.
  • Preliminary reports indicate no injuries occurred during the attacks, and officials in Krasnodar confirmed the blaze at the Ilsky facility was extinguished by Friday.
  • Ukraine has intensified attacks on energy infrastructure to undermine Moscow's war effort; repeated strikes on the Ilsky Oil Refinery, with a capacity of around 138,000 barrels per day, have previously caused fuel price rises.
