Falling drone debris injured one person and sparked a fire at an oil refinery in Russia's southern Krasnodar region on Tuesday following what local authorities said was a Ukrainian attack.
Regional authorities said on Telegram that the debris also damaged houses in the villages of Afipsky, Smolenskaya, and Kovalenko.
A building at a railway crossing was also damaged, the authority said.

Fuel storage facilities for the Ukrainian forces were hit in the port of Yuzhny, the ministry further said.
