The fire at the Kuban oil refinery has been extinguished

A fire that started after a drone attack has been extinguished at an oil refinery in the village of Novominskaya. According to the Ministry of Defense, four drones were shot down overnight in Kuban.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," last night, a drone attack caused a fire at an oil refinery in the village of Novominskaya in the Kanevsky District. The fire covered an area of ​​150 square meters.

The fire at the oil refinery in the village of Novominskaya has been completely extinguished, the Kuban emergency response headquarters reported on its Telegram channel.

"At 3:52 [Moscow time], the flames were contained, at 6:06 the open fire was extinguished, and at 6:51 the fire was completely extinguished," the publication stated.

Last night, four drones were shot down over the Krasnodar Territory, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.

Remember, residents of the villages of Afipsky and Ilsky in the Seversky District of Kuban, where oil refineries are located, regularly suffer from drone attacks. Thus, on December 14, 2025, authorities reported that during a drone attack, "UAV debris" damaged five private homes in the village of Afip. On December 1, a drone attack damaged 19 homes and a cell phone tower in the village of Ilsky.

Oil refineries themselves have also been repeatedly attacked by drones. In particular, on February 17, a drone attack resulted in a fire at the Ilsky Oil Refinery.

On November 29, 2025, an aerial attack caused a fire at the refinery in the village of Afipsky, and workers were evacuated. The fire was extinguished the same day. In September 2025, the Krasnodar Krai banned the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as the filming of air defense systems, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense systems. A corresponding draft law from the regional Legislative Assembly was published on the "Caucasian Knot."
