- On Aug. 25, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the Afipsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar Krai overnight, according to Russian Telegram channels, as air raid alerts were active in the region.

- Processing roughly 6.25 million tons of crude annually, the Afipsky refinery accounts for about 2% of Russia's refining output, and social media photos appear to show a large fire at the site.
- Elsewhere, active air defense was reported near the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Russia's Rostov Oblast, though no damage to that facility was immediately documented following the activity.
- The Kyiv Independent could not immediately verify the reports of the strikes, and Ukraine's military has not yet commented, leaving the extent of damage at targeted locations unclear.
