The Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai was struck overnight by Ukrainian long-range weapons, Ukraine's Defence Ministry said in a statement published before 1301Z on 26 September 2026. The ministry described the strike as one of several "long-range responses" carried out by its forces during the night. The claim comes from the Ukrainian military itself and has not been matched by any Russian statement or independent account in the material collected.
