June 11 (Reuters) - A fire broke out in the area surrounding

Russia's Afipsky refinery in southern Krasnodar as a result of

falling drone debris as defence systems were repelling an air

attack, the regional operational headquarters said in a post on

Telegram.

A gas pipeline was also damaged after drone debris had

fallen in the residential private sector, the post said, adding

there were no casualties.
