Russia reports drone attack with oil depot on fire in Krasnodar Krai – video
A drone attack targeted an oil depot in Russia's Krasnoder Krai overnight on Tuesday, according to regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev, who reported a fire at the site.
Kondratyev claimed the region's air defense successfully intercepted the drone attack. However, drone fragments reportedly fell on a fuel storage tank with "minimal remaining petroleum products" in the Novominskaya village of Kanevskaya district.
Unconfirmed reports from propaganda Telegram channels suggest the target was the Albashneft LLC facility.
A second-level fire erupted at the oil depot, requiring 55 rescue workers and 19 specialized vehicles to manage the "minor blaze."
Kanevskaya district head Alexander Gerasimenko stated the fire was successfully localized, with no initial reports of casualties.
