On the night of August 18,[ the FDKU Kavkaz Combine oil depot located in Proletarsk, Rostov Region, was struck](https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/oil-depot-in-rostov-region-ignites-due-to-1723953791.html). According to RBC-Ukraine sources, [this operation was carried out by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.](https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/oil-depot-in-rostov-region-attacked-with-1723994854.html)
Fire + fuel = much worse fire that’s also much more difficult to extinguish.

Fire train comes with own water source?
How do they work?
Maybe should cut their water supply
Russia will kick Ukraines bum soon
That should keep em busy
Surprised/Not Surprised:
The oil depot is FUKD.
Burn, baby burn!
🔥 😃🇺🇦
The real question is; Why hasn’t Ukraine followed up the strike?
Yeah, about that depot. It’s going to be awhile before it goes out.
the ukrainians need to more of these. they need to do things that cost putin lots of money
I’d imagine these storage tanks aren’t easy or quick to replace and Ukraine hasn’t hit more of them.
Have they tried blowing it up to get rid of all the fuel? Give that a try.
