(Reuters) – A fire that was sparked by Ukraine’s drone attack on Friday at the Tuapse oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region has been contained but not yet extinguished, the region’s administration said late on Saturday.

The fire has been contained to an area of 1,250 square metres (13,500 square feet), the administration said in a post on the Telegram messaging app. Nearly 200 firefighters are fighting the blaze, it said.
