The Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai has halted operations after a strike by FP-1 drones, Fire Point reported on Telegram on Sept. 26.
According to the company, the attack hit three primary oil processing units, and the tank farm.
The refinery's operations are currently halted.
Earlier on Sept. 26, Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian Defense Forces had struck the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai.
The Ilsky refinery is capable of processing about 6.6 million metric tons of oil a year. The plant receives, stores and processes crude oil, and also produces and ships petroleum products, some of which are used to meet the needs of Russian troops.
