**Drones Attack Russian Oil Refinery in Krasnodar Krai**
On February 10, drones reportedly targeted the Afipskiy oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai. The refinery is a key facility that processes 6.25 million tons of oil annually.
The attack was confirmed by Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation. He said the refinery is a strategic logistics hub for diesel fuel and aviation kerosene used by Russian troops.
**Russian Officials Confirm Drone Attack**
Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratiev confirmed that a residential complex in Krasnodar was hit by a drone, but no casualties were reported. The governor said downed drone debris fell on a high-rise building.
**Importance of the Refinery**
Andrii Kovalenko emphasized the importance of the Afipskiy refinery, saying it provides fuel for Russian military equipment, particularly in southern Ukraine. He described the refinery as “an industrial facility but also an important element of Russia’s military infrastructure.”
**Ukraine’s Strategy to Disrupt Fuel Supplies**
The drone attack on the oil refinery aligns with Kyiv’s strategy to disrupt Russian fuel supplies and reduce Moscow’s war funding. Ukraine has regularly targeted Russian oil facilities with long-range drone strikes to achieve this goal.
