A Russian oil refinery has partially suspended operations after being damaged in a suspected Ukrainian drone attack, the Russian TASS news agency says.
A large fire broke out at the Slavyansk oil refinery after being hit with 10 Ukrainian drones, the security director at Slavyansk ECO Group, was quoted as saying.
They said some of the damage caused may be hidden so the "work of the plant has been partially suspended".
Earlier today, Roman Siniagovskyi, head of the Slavyansk administrative district said the distillation column was damaged during the alleged strike.
Russia's Defence Ministry said its air defence units had intercepted and destroyed 66 Ukrainian drones over the territory of the Krasnoyarsk region, and two more over the Crimean Peninsula.
A source from the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed that Ukrainian drones had been launched at the Slavyansk and Ilsky oil refineries and had caused fires at the facilities.
The source said drones also targeted Russia's Kushchevsk military airfield in the same region.
