What happened

A fire broke out at the Ilsky oil refinery after debris from a falling Ukrainian drone struck the facility, according to local officials cited by the Associated Press. Six people were wounded. Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck the refinery. The reviewed reporting did not identify the damaged unit, quantify the fire or establish any production shutdown. This is a separate incident from the refinery's earlier attacks, including the July 2026 fire already recorded on the map.
