Kamikaze drones blast ANOTHER of Putin’s oil refineries as massive inferno burns through site 200 miles inside Russia
UKRAINIAN kamikaze drones have blasted yet another Russian oil refinery.
A succession of powerful explosions were heard in the Dzerzhinsky district in Kaluga Oblast overnight as flames and smoke filled the air.
Dramatic footage showed a massive orange inferno at the Pervyy Zavod refinery following reports of several drones flying overhead.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed a drone flying toward the Russian capital had been downed in Moscow Oblast, as three more drones were allegedly destroyed in Bryansk Oblast.
Three tanks containing diesel fuel, and one tank containing fuel oil, were said to have been set alight.
The region's governor Vladislav Shapsha reported about 7am local time (5am UK time) that the fire had been extinguished and that no one had been injured.
Russian media confirmed that a fire broke out at the Pervyy Zavod oil refinery in Kaluga Oblast following a drone crash.
The blitz comes after Ukraine yesterday struck a key oil depot near the £3billion bridge linking Crimea to Russia.
Footage showed the blazing oil terminal at Yurovka in southern Krasnodar region, where Vladimir Putin has two sprawling palaces.
Some 62 firefighters rushed to the LUKOIL-Yugnaftoprodukt oil terminal to try and extinguish the roaring blaze.
Russia claimed it shot down six drones over facility.
Ukraine's repeated attacks on oil refineries have become a major headache for Putin, with Russian prices rising and supplies disrupted.
