Fire breaks out at Russian oil refinery following Ukrainian drone attack

A Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at an oil refinery in southern Russia, forcing it to halt operations, according to a regional governor on Thursday, adding that there were no casualties.

Dozens of emergency responders rushed to extinguish the blaze at the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Rostov-on-Don, according to Governor Vasily Golubev.

Golubev wrote on Telegram, "After the drone strike, a fire broke out at the Novoshakhtinsk refinery."

He added, "Work has been suspended due to the repeated attacks, with workers being withdrawn to a safe distance."
