Two enterprises ⁠caught fire and one person was injured ‍in the city of ‌Slavyansk-on-Kuban ‍in Russia's Krasnodar region after drone fragments fell on them, the regional emergencies centre said on Monday.

The centre did not specify ⁠what enterprises were affected. The city hosts a private refinery with a capacity of around 100,000 ‌barrels per day, supplying fuel for both domestic use and export.

Russia's ‍defence ministry said ‍air defence ‍systems had intercepted ⁠and destroyed ‍40 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 34 in the Krasnodar ⁠region.
