"According to emergency services of Tuapse district, a
fire broke out on the territory of the oil refinery in the town," the
agencies quoted a statement by the Krasnodar, or Kuban, region emergencies
service.
"The fire is being brought under control. According to
initial information, there are no casualties."
Agencies also quoted officials at the region's major
airport, in the seaside town of Sochi, about 100 km (60 miles) to the
southeast, as saying it had suspended arrivals and departures. Crews and
dispatchers were taking all precautions to ensure flight safety in the area.
Sergei Boiko, the head of Tuapse district, said on Telegram
that the fire was located in the refinery's vacuum unit -- a secondary
processing section. He said efforts to extinguish the fire were continuing.
Unofficial Telegram channels showed pictures of the blaze
and said drones had been responsible.
