In the night of July 6, drones attacked facilities in the Yeysk, Leningrad, and Pavlovsk districts in Krasnodar Krai. The Russian operational headquarters reported that a cell tower in Yeysk was damaged, while in Pavlovskaya village, a drone hit the territory of an oil depot, causing a fire in fuel tanks. The oil depot is reportedly owned by Lukoil, according to analysts from Astra Group. In Leningradskaya rural locality, a fuel tank also caught fire due to a drone attack. The Russian air defense was unable to shoot down all the attack drones. A video released shows another drone hitting a Russian oil depot that is already on fire, resulting in a powerful explosion. The Russian Ministry of Defense did not report the drone attacks in the Krasnodar region. However, they stated that seven drones were destroyed over the territory of Kursk region and another drone was shot down over Belgorod region.

These attacks on oil refineries and storage facilities are aimed at reducing Russia’s economic potential. A source informed the BBC, “Our task is to deprive the enemy of resources and reduce the flow of oil money and fuel that Russia directs directly to the war, to the killing of our citizens.” In addition to oil refineries, drone attacks have also targeted military targets such as Russian air force air bases. In June, a group of drones attacked a Russian military airfield near the city of Mozdok in North Ossetia.
