ROSTOV-ON-DON, March 7 (RIA Novosti) - Police have detained 25 people who attacked an oil refinery in south Russia's Rostov Region and injured three guards, police said Saturday.

Director Anatoly Skiba told RIA Novosti that the incident was an attempt to forcibly take over the refinery.

Police said about 30 people armed with firearms and airguns attempted to seize the refinery. The attackers rammed the gate with a tractor and opened fire on the guards.

"An investigation is underway. Twenty-five people were detained and brought to a local police station," a police spokesman said, adding that most of the detainees were private security guards.
