A Ukrainian drone strike targeted an oil refinery in Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan in Russia, Governor Radiy Khabirov reported on Wednesday. Bashkortostan is located between the Volga River and the Ural Mountains in eastern Europe. “We have significantly strengthened our oil refining hub,” Khabirov said in his address. “The attack was small: six drones. One apparently went off course and hit a house in Zaton,” he said to reporters, adding that it injured an Indian medical student. His injuries are said to be minor, and he is receiving medical care. According to Khabirov, a unit undergoing repairs caught fire at the refinery following the attack. Firefighters are working to contain the blaze. Khabirov stated that a total of six drones were involved, with four shot down by air defenses.
