Oil depot on fire in Russia’s Rostov region after drone attack

A fire at an oil storage depot deep inside Russia is still raging, more than 24 hours after it was attacked by Ukrainian drones.

Russian authorities blamed the blaze at the facility on the outskirts of Proletarsk – a city in the southern Rostov region – on fallen debris after the drones were intercepted by air defence units early on Sunday morning.

“It stored oil and petroleum products that were also supplied to the needs of the Russian occupation army,” Ukraine’s military said in a statement on Sunday, confirming the successful strike.
