A significant blaze erupted at the Afipsky Oil Refinery located in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai following a large-scale drone strike confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff. Witnesses observed dense black smoke and heard explosions at the site, which has been among several Russian energy installations targeted lately. This attack arrives as Ukraine’s military reports that Russian oil production has plummeted to its lowest in a year due to ongoing Ukrainian offensives on refineries. This incident further intensifies an already precarious global energy situation, with American consumers feeling the impact of the unrelated Iran crisis.
