Last night, on February 10, drones attacked Krasnodar and the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, according to Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation.
As Kovalenko explained, the Afipsky refinery is one of the key refineries in Russia with a capacity of 6.25 million tons of oil per year.
The refinery plays a strategic role for the Russians in providing fuel for military equipment, especially in the southern direction.
"Its location in Krasnodar Krai makes it an important logistics center for the supply of diesel fuel and aviation kerosene used by the Russian army. That's why the Afipsky oil refinery is not only an industrial facility but also an important element of Russia's military infrastructure," Kovalenko added.
