Russian military propaganda claimed a drone attack targeted the city of Oryol, with local sources sharing videos of a drone strike on an oil depot.

Telegram channels from Oryol reported explosions in the city and surrounding region from 00:40 a.m. local time onward.

While propagandists claimed that Russian air defenses allegedly intercepted all drones, a video circulating online clearly shows an oil depot. The footage captures the sound of a UAV heading toward the energy facility, followed by an explosion seconds later.

Earlier on December 13, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, firing over 200 drones and more than 90 missiles.
