Drone ‘debris’ strikes apartment buildings and oil depot in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai
”Debris” from Ukrainian drones struck Krasnodar and the Dinskoy district, damaging residential buildings, the operational headquarters of Krasnodar Krai reported.
Two apartment buildings were hit in Krasnodar; in Dinskaya, two private homes were damaged. Local authorities said there were no casualties, according to preliminary information.
In Armavir, drone strikes ignited a fire at an industrial facility, the operational headquarters said.
City officials identified the site as an oil depot in the Northern Industrial Zone. The fire spread across 800 square meters (8,611 square feet). Armavir authorities called the overnight attack “one of the largest” to date.
One employee of the oil depot was killed in the Armavir attack, Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said.
Oil facilities in Russian regions have been among the primary targets of Ukrainian drones in recent months, contributing to a fuel crisis across the country.
