JAKARTA - President Volodymur Zelensky on Sunday said Ukraine attacked two Russian oil refineries in Krasnodar and Yaroslavl regions on Saturday night, as Kyiv increased pressure on Russia's fuel supplies with its fleet of drones.
Kyiv's increasingly frequent drone attacks have caused acute fuel shortages in parts of Russia, one of the world's largest oil producers, with queues and rationing seen at gas stations.
"We continue our operations that weaken Russia's ability to wage this war," President Zelensky wrote on social media, adding that the refineries are about 300 km and 700 km (190 miles and 430 miles) from Ukrainian territory.
Separately, the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev, said in a statement on Telegram on Sunday that a fire had occurred at a refinery in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, with one person killed and another injured in a nearby village.
Unverified footage on social media showed a huge fire at the refinery.
It is known that the Slavyansk refinery is a private factory with a capacity of around 100,000 barrels per day. This refinery supplies fuel for domestic and export use.
In the Yaroslavl region, east of Moscow, the local governor said the region had been the target of drone attacks and temporary restrictions had been imposed on movement on several road routes to the Russian capital.
