"No casualties"
Drone attack: fire at Russian oil refinery
A Ukrainian drone attack briefly led to a fire at the Volgograd oil refinery in southern Russia. This was announced by the governor of the region, Andrey Botsharov, on Sunday via the short message service Telegram.
"The fire was extinguished. There were no casualties," wrote Bospharov. Neither the oil producer Lukoil nor the Ukrainian side have yet issued a statement on the matter.
According to the Ministry of Defense in Moscow, the Russian military intercepted six Ukrainian attack drones and two ballistic missiles over Russian territory on Sunday night. The two Soviet-made Totschka missiles were shot down and destroyed over the Belgorod oblast, the ministry said on Telegram.
Three of the drones were intercepted over Bryansk Oblast, two over Lipetsk and one over Volgorod. Bryansk and Belgorod border Ukraine, while the other two areas are further inland.
As usual, Ukraine is not commenting on the attacks. In recent months, its armed forces have increasingly attacked targets in Russia that are far from the border.
