The fire caused by the impact of a Ukrainian drone on the Russian Tuapse oil refinery in the Black Sea has been extinguished, officials announced today, reports Reuters.

The refinery, owned by the oil company Rosneft, was damaged during the night in a drone attack, officials from the Krasnodar region announced earlier.

The Russian authorities announced today that the anti-aircraft defense (PVO) shot down 75 Ukrainian drones, including 47 in the southern region of Rostov alone, which borders Ukraine, the Beta agency reports.

"The air defense intercepted and destroyed 47 drones over the Rostov region, one each over Belgorod, over the Voronezh region, over Smolensk and eight over Krasnodar, as well as 17 drones over the Black and Azov seas," the Russian Ministry of Defense said on Telegram.

Ukraine, facing a Russian invasion for more than two years and whose energy infrastructure has been destroyed by continuous bombing, is conducting drone attacks deep inside Russia on energy and logistics sites used by the military specifically for its operations on Ukrainian soil.
