A fire continues for the second day at an oil depot in Russia's Rostov region following a Ukrainian strike, with flames now engulfing at least 10 fuel tanks.

The Russian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty published a corresponding satellite image.

The media posted a new photo from 14:23 on August 19, showing the aftermath of the attack on the Rosrezerv's oil depot near the city of Proletarsk in Russia's Rostov region. Occupiers' resources wrote that as of Monday evening, the fire was still ongoing.

The satellite image shows the fire has continued and spread to at least 10 fuel tanks.

Black smoke from the fire complicates the view:

On August 18, the General Staff reported a successful strike on the Kavkaz oil depot in the Rostov region near Proletarsk.
