On the night of November 29, Ukrainian Armed Forces drones attacked the Afip oil refinery in the Seversky district of Krasnodar Krai, the region’s operational headquarters reported, [Komersant].
After the attack, a fire broke out on the territory of the enterprise with an area of about 250 square meters. The fire was quickly localized and the staff was evacuated. According to the operational headquarters, some of the process equipment was damaged as a result of the attack, while the tanks were not damaged. The farmstead of an agricultural enterprise in the village of Afipsky also caught fire, triggered by the wreckage of a downed drone.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Afipsk refinery has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones. The refinery was attacked in late September, as well as on August 7 and 28, after which the company had to stop processing at one of its units. Despite not being one of the country’s ten largest refineries, after the 2025 Afipsky reconstruction, it became one of the most powerful in southern Russia: its refining capacity reached 9.1 million tons of oil per year. The site has two primary processing units.
