A crude oil storage tank has caught fire at an oil refinery in southern Russia 's Krasnodar region, allegedly due to a drone strike , Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on his Telegram channel.

«A fire broke out on the territory of the Afipsky oil refinery. A refinery plant caught fire. A drone attack is currently considered the most plausible cause," he added, specifying that " the fire was contained in an area of 100 square meters and there were no casualties ."

The words of the spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, were harsh, who defined the position of Western countries on attacks with drones in Moscow " absolutely cowardly ".

Zakharova then added that the West only comments on what it wants to comment .

Yesterday, the Russian Defense Ministry declared Ukrainian attacks on the Russian capital with eight unmanned aircraft, adding that all the drones had been shot down.
