Attack on Afipsky refinery deepens Russia’s fuel supply crisis and adds pressure to global oil product markets.
Ukraine conducted a drone strike on Russia’s Afipsky refinery, a facility processing 180,000 barrels per day, in Krasnodar region. The attack sparked a fire and damaged nearby homes, according to local officials.
The strike marks the latest in a series of near-daily Ukrainian attacks on Russian refining infrastructure, exacerbating fuel shortages in Russia. Prior incidents have disrupted refining capacity, contributing to tighter global fuel supplies.
No immediate market reaction was reported, but sustained disruptions could further strain oil product inventories and lift prices.
