Alexander Bogomaz, governor of the Bryansk region, confirmed the incident.
He said: “Russian air defence systems repelled an overnight attack by Ukrainian armed forces on the ‘Druzhba’ oil refinery in the district of Novozybkov.
“Three aerial drones were destroyed thanks to the professionalism of our military”.
He made no mention of any damage.
Drone assaults have increased in frequency in recent months, with Kiev and Moscow claiming to resist them several times per week.
Furthermore, Drone assaults appear to prioritise oil infrastructure on Russian land, which are critical for supplying troops.

The Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula, which Kiev has repeatedly stated it intends to reclaim, is also frequently targeted.
Russian soldiers shot down nine drones over the peninsula on Thursday, according to the region’s Moscow-installed governor, Sergei Aksyonov.
In addition, another drone struck a residential building in Russia’s southern city of Voronezh last week, injuring two people.
This was the first news of drones in Voronezh, a metropolis of one million people located in a location deeper within Russia than the border districts normally reported as being targeted by Russia.
