Kamikaze drone attack at the Novoshakhtinsk oil processing plant in the Rostov-on-Don region, Russia
Ukrainian saboteurs are suspected.
MOSCOW (AP) — A drone strike caused a fire at a refinery in southwestern Russia near the border with Ukraine on Wednesday, but no one was hurt and the blaze was contained quickly, officials said.
The fire engulfed industrial equipment at the Novoshakhtinsk oil processing plant in the Rostov-on-Don region. The authorities said that dozens of firefighters extinguished the flames in a half-hour and no one was hurt.
The refinery said in a statement that the fire was caused by a strike carried out by two drones, describing it as a "terrorist" act. It didn't give further details, but the state news agency Tass said that two Ukrainian drones flew over the plant and one of them slammed into a heat exchanger, triggering the fire.
Ukrainian officials haven't claimed responsibility for the drone strike.
The Rostov regional governor, Vasily Golubev, said that fragments of two drones were found on the territory of the plant.
The refinery said it temporarily suspended operations to assess the damage.
