Moscow, May 12: A fire broke out at an oil refinery in southern Russia following a droke attack by Ukraine, a Kremlin-appointed official said on Sunday.
The night-time raid in the Volgograd region was repelled by the Russian air defences, Governor Andrey Botsharov wrote on Telegram.
However, the falling drone detonated and caused a fire on the refinery site, which has since been extinguished. There were no casualties, the governor said.
Moscow has been waging a full-scale war against Ukraine for more than two years.
