The regional governor said a drone was linked to the blaze, pointing to another reported strike on Russian energy infrastructure.
A drone reportedly caused a fire at an oil refinery in Russia’s Tyumen region, the regional governor said. The brief report did not identify the refinery, describe the scale of the fire, or say whether there were injuries or operational disruptions. The incident adds to a pattern of reported drone attacks affecting Russian energy infrastructure, a sector closely watched by oil markets because refinery outages can disrupt fuel production and regional supply flows.
