According to media reports, another refinery in southern Russia has been hit by drones. Another fire broke out, the Russian state news agency TASS reports. No one was injured in the incident.
A fire broke out at the Ilski refinery near the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk on Thursday night. It was initially unclear who was behind the drone attack. International observers suspect that a Ukrainian counter-offensive is being prepared. In contrast, the Ukrainian military rarely claims responsibility for drone strikes against infrastructure and military targets in regions near the Russian border.
These are currently increasing, especially in southern Russia and Crimea. The objects hit could be of importance to the Russian army in the war. For example, two freight trains recently derailed in the border area of Bryansk after the rails were blown up. British intelligence experts believe Russia’s security forces are incapable of protecting the country’s extensive rail network from attack.
More acts of sabotage at the border
In recent times, there have been repeated acts of sabotage near the Ukrainian border, which have disrupted the Russian military in the short term. “While the railway troops of the Russian Armed Forces are able to quickly restore the lines, these incidents will increase the pressure on the Russian security forces,” said a source in London.
The Ministry of Defense in London has been publishing information on the progress of the war on a daily basis since the start of the war. The Kremlin speaks of a disinformation campaign.
