**Deck**: Ukrainian‑aligned channels say a strike hit the Afipsky oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai overnight, sharing coordinates and video of a fire still burning in the morning. The reported attack adds to a growing list of incidents against fuel infrastructure well beyond the front line.

A major oil facility in southern Russia was burning on 6 November after what Ukrainian‑aligned sources described as an overnight strike on the Afipsky refinery in Krasnodar Krai.

Posts from pro‑Ukrainian channels reported that the Afipsky refinery had been hit during the night, giving coordinates near 44.883963, 38.822589. They circulated repeated messages about the Afipsky plant being struck and continuing to burn, with videos presented as showing flames at the site.

By around 06:00 UTC, those accounts spoke of an ongoing fire at the refinery. They referred to the Afipsky facility in Krasnodar Krai and highlighted that the blaze was still visible in the morning. The same sources framed the incident as another successful attack on Russian oil infrastructure.

Russian officials had not yet issued a detailed public report in the material reviewed, and there was no independent assessment of the exact damage or the impact on refinery operations. The available information came from open‑source posts and did not include data on production losses or repairs.

The claimed hit on Afipsky follows other reported Ukrainian long‑range attacks on energy and fuel sites inside Russia. These incidents have focused attention on infrastructure that supports both local economies and the wider war effort, even when it lies hundreds of kilometers from the front.

Afipsky’s location in Krasnodar Krai, a region with significant logistics and industrial activity, makes any disruption there noteworthy for planners on both sides. How serious this particular fire proves to be will only become clear with satellite imagery, local reporting, or official statements that confirm the scale of the damage.

Key signals to watch now are visual evidence clarifying which parts of the refinery were affected, any changes reported in regional fuel supply, and whether Russian authorities acknowledge the incident as a strike or characterize it differently.
