A drone attack on an oil refinery in the Krasnodar region of Russia has resulted in a fire, leaving at least two people dead and two others injured due to debris fallout. The incident occurred at the Afipsky oil refinery, as reported by local authorities. Simultaneously, two workers at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, under Russian control, were wounded in another drone attack. Ukraine's military has claimed responsibility for these strikes, which are part of an ongoing campaign to target Russia's energy infrastructure and weaken Moscow's war efforts financially. Additional attacks occurred on a gas processing plant in Russia's Astrakhan region overnight. In response to the escalating attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree allowing temporary state control over critical infrastructure deemed vulnerable. These incidents come after a meeting in Kyiv where Ukraine's allies pledged continued support, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urging increased drone and missile production for further attacks on Russia. The meeting was attended by leaders of the Coalition of the Willing, including British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who called for negotiations, and French President Emmanuel Macron, who predicted increased provocations against NATO countries. Finnish President Alexander Stubb urged Ukraine's allies to help expand its striking capabilities deep into Russia. The Kremlin labeled Burnham and Stubb as proponents of war in response.
