Ukrainian Drone Strike Ignites Fire at Russian Oil Depot in Rostov Region

A Ukrainian drone strike ignited a fire at an oil depot in the Kamensky district of Russia’s Rostov region, according to local Governor Vasily Golubev.

He confirmed that multiple tanks were burning but reported no casualties, as firefighters worked to control the flames. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that four drones were shot down over the area but did not acknowledge the attack on the depot.

The Baza Telegram channel reported that two drones were responsible for the fire, affecting three tanks, with videos on social media confirming the incident. This follows a similar attack on the same depot earlier this month.

In a separate event, debris from a Ukrainian drone sparked a fire near explosive materials in Voronezh, although there was no detonation. Russian officials often downplay the extent of damage caused by Ukrainian attacks, while both sides assert that they aim to avoid civilian targets.
