No injuries were reported, and officials have yet to confirm the full extent of the damage as emergency crews worked to contain the blaze.The region has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones, part of an expanding aerial campaign against Russian energy and military infrastructure.Last week, strikes hit an oil facility near Tikhoretsk, the Afipsky refinery, and installations near Port Kavkaz.Meanwhile, Russia said Ukraine launched one of its largest drone offensives against Moscow over the weekend.Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that more than 100 drones were intercepted over two days, as air defences responded to multiple waves of “kamikaze” drones.The Russian defence ministry said at least 145 drones were shot down overnight, including 53 over the greater Moscow region, according toTASSnews agency.Authorities temporarily restricted flights at the city’s major airports during the attacks, according to the national aviation watchdog.Moscow — along with the surrounding Moscow region — has a population of about 22 million.There was no immediate comment from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or any of the Ukrainian officials on the reported attacks.Ukraine ready for talksEarlier, President Zelenskyy said the United States proposed a trilateral meeting with Russia on American soil to discuss ending the war.Speaking in capital Kiev, he said on Sunday the meeting was postponed until next week.“This is related to the war. They are ready to meet in America. We said we are ready. The Russians are not ready to fly to America. And so, we are waiting for the Americans' response,' he said.He added that Kiev remains open to negotiations in another country if Washington or Moscow propose an alternative venue.
