Kondratyev pointed out that this is the second night in a row that Krasnodar Krai has been the target of attacks. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, the Afipski refinery, one of the largest refineries in the south of Russia, was hit by a drone, after which a fire broke out in the facility. That refinery has been exposed to drone attacks before, and fires were also recorded after the attacks in September and November last year.
