UPDATE 1-Fire at Russia's Ilsky refinery after drone attack, officials say

Adds background, refinery's capacity

- A fire broke out at the Ilsky refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region after a drone attack, local authorities said on Tuesday, adding that a reservoir with oil products was damaged.

Ukraine earlier this month resumed attacks on Russian energy infrastructure as the U.S.-brokered peace talks have so far failed to yield tangible results.

On Tuesday, an oil product reservoir caught fire in Volna village, the site of Russian Black Sea port of Taman , the regional governor said.

Ilsky refinery has been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drones. Its capacity stands at around 138,000 barrels per day. It's not immediately clear if its operations have been interrupted by the recent attack.
