Remember, residents of the villages of Afipsky and Ilsky in the Seversky District, where oil refineries are located, regularly suffer from drone attacks. Thus, on December 14, 2025, authorities reported that during a drone attack, "UAV debris" damaged five private homes in the village of Afip. On December 1, a drone attack damaged 19 homes and a cell phone tower in the village of Ilsky.

The oil refineries themselves have also been repeatedly attacked by drones. Specifically, on November 29, 2025, an aerial attack caused a fire at the refinery in Afipsky, evacuating workers. The fire was extinguished the same day.

On September 7, 2025, equipment at the Ilsky oil refinery caught fire as a result of an attack. Authorities reported on the prompt extinguishing of the fire.

In September 2025, the Krasnodar Krai banned the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as the filming of air defense systems, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense systems. A corresponding bill from the regional legislative assembly was published on the "Caucasian Knot."
