(Reuters) - A Ukrainian drone attack overnight sparked a fire at an oil depot in Russia's southern region of Krasnodar, its governor said early on Wednesday, with 55 people fighting the blaze.

A series of drone attacks by Ukraine on Russia's energy facilities have sparked fires in recent days at a major oil refinery in the Volgograd region, as well as at the Astrakhan gas processing plant.

"The fire has been contained, there are no casualties," Veniamin Kondratyev, governor of the Krasnodar region, said on the Telegram messaging app, with a team wielding 19 items of equipment to try and extinguish the flames.

Kondratyev did not say which depot was on fire or detail the extent of damage.

The Russian defence ministry said that four Ukrainian drones were destroyed over the Russian territory overnight, but did not mention the Krasnodar region in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.

The ministry only reports drones that its air defence systems destroy, not how many were launched.

There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv says that its attacks inside Russia are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to Moscow's war in Ukraine and are in response to Russian continued bombing of Ukraine.
