An "explosive" morning in Kuban

In the morning of April 27, Russia complained about another drone attack on the Krasnodar Territory. Locals heard the sounds of explosions, after which they noticed smoke in the sky.

According to preliminary reports, a fire broke out near a bitumen plant in Sloviansk-on-Kuban. Russian sources also report strikes on the Slavyansk ECO refinery, the Ilya refinery and a number of other facilities, and the attacks on Russian refineries were confirmed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy.

Early on Saturday morning, Russian media outlets began reporting on explosions in the Krasnodar region of Russia, citing eyewitnesses. They allegedly occurred around 4 a.m. local time and "did not stop for more than 30 minutes."

Propagandists were quick to call it a "drone attack" that was allegedly repelled. According to local governor Veniamin Kondratiev, there were more than a dozen drones.

"According to the information available at the moment, more than 10 drones have been suppressed in the Slavyansky, Seversky and Kushchevsky districts. They tried to attack refineries and infrastructure facilities. According to local reports, there were no casualties or serious damage. Operational services are extinguishing the fire caused by the UAV's fall," the official wrote.

Meanwhile, propagandists admit that there were some "consequences".

One of the "fires," according to the Russian media, occurred near a bitumen plant. And the vchkogpu channel notes that, in addition to this enterprise, the Slavyansk ECO refinery, the Ilya refinery, and "a number of other facilities" were hit.

In particular, the attack on the Ilya oil refinery in the Seversky district of Krasnodar Krai was confirmed by locals to ASTRA.

"After the UAV attack, a fire broke out at the refinery, and it has almost been extinguished, according to residents," the publication writes.

Meanwhile, Russian propagandists write that "the refinery in the Krasnodar region partially suspended operations after the attack by Ukrainian UAVs." This was allegedly stated by a company representative. It is not specified which of the two refineries is in question.

ASTRA also reported, citing eyewitnesses, a possible attack on a military airfield in the Kuban.

"A military airfield in the village of Kushchevskaya, Krasnodar Territory, caught fire after a UAV attack, according to locals. There is no confirmation of this information yet," the journalists wrote, showing a screenshot from one of the local Telegram channels.

The Ministry of Energy of Ukraine also reported hits at two oil refineries in Kuban, as well as as explosions at a bitumen plant and a fire at a military airfield.

"We can play this game together," the ministry reminded the occupiers, which earlier reported that Russian troops had attacked four Ukrainian thermal power plants in different regions at night.

The administration of the Slavyansky district of Krasnodar region has confirmed a UAV attack on a local refinery. A rectification column was damaged

"A UAV attack took place on the territory of the plant in Slavyansk-on-Kuban. In total, there were 9 attacks on the tank farm and the distillation column. The tank farm was not damaged thanks to the built-in protection system. The rectification column was damaged. The fire was extinguished by joint efforts of the responsible services. No one was injured," the statement said.

Meanwhile, ASTRA's sources in the region's emergency services told the publication that the attack on the military airfield in Kuschevskaya village "damaged aircraft, and their number and degree of damage is being established."

On April 24, it was reported that SSU drones hit two oil depots in the Smolensk region. They were storing 26 thousand cubic meters of Russian fuel.
