										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>Kyiv</strong>— Ukrainian drone strikes set fire to a major oil refinery in southern Russia overnight, killing at least two people in separate attacks, Russian authorities said on Sunday, as Kyiv intensified its long-range campaign targeting Russia&#8217;s energy infrastructure and military logistics.</p>



<p>Authorities in Russia&#8217;s Krasnodar region said debris from intercepted Ukrainian drones ignited a fire at the Slavyansk-na-Kubani oil refinery, one of southern Russia&#8217;s largest refining facilities. Regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said one person was killed in Slavyansk and another was injured in a nearby village.</p>



<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces had targeted the Slavyansk refinery and said a second refinery in Russia&#8217;s Yaroslavl region was also struck during the overnight operation.</p>



<p>&#8220;Tonight, our long-range sanctions reached two oil refineries in Russia,&#8221; Zelensky said on the Telegram messaging platform, adding that the attacks were intended to reduce resources supporting Russia&#8217;s military campaign.</p>



<p>The Associated Press could not independently verify videos circulating on Russian social media that appeared to show heavy smoke rising from the Slavyansk refinery.</p>



<p>The Slavyansk facility processes nearly 4 million metric tons of crude oil annually, according to its operator, and supplies petroleum products including fuel oil, naphtha and marine fuel for export through Russia&#8217;s Black Sea ports.</p>



<p>Russian authorities did not immediately confirm damage to the refinery in the Yaroslavl region. Governor Mikhail Evraev said temporary road closures were imposed following what he described as a Ukrainian drone attack, while Russia&#8217;s civil aviation agency briefly suspended operations at Yaroslavl Airport and several other airports in southern and western Russia.</p>



<p>In Russia&#8217;s Belgorod region, acting Governor Alexander Shuvayev said a separate Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded another near the border with Ukraine.</p>



<p>Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry said its air defenses intercepted 213 Ukrainian drones overnight over Russian territory, occupied Crimea, and the Black and Azov seas.</p>



<p>Ukraine&#8217;s air force, meanwhile, said Russia launched 142 long-range drones and eight missiles overnight. It said Ukrainian air defenses destroyed 125 drones and seven missiles before they reached their targets.</p>



<p>Ukraine has significantly expanded long-range strikes against Russian energy facilities and military-industrial infrastructure in recent months, saying the campaign is aimed at disrupting fuel supplies, reducing revenues that finance Moscow&#8217;s military operations, and increasing pressure on the Kremlin as the war enters its fifth year.</p>
