Drones fired by the Ukrainian military (SBU) hit two oil bases near the city of Anapa in the southern part of Russia’s Krasnodar region and caused large fires, a Ukrainian intelligence source told Reuters.
The source said the oil depots were being used as transshipment points to supply fuel to Russian troops in the nearby occupied Crimea peninsula.
“The SBU will continue to reduce Russia’s economic and logistical potential for waging war,” the source told Reuters.
Several tanks were damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian oil base near the Black Sea city of Anapa last night, TASS reported, citing authorities in the Krasnodar region.
According to the announcement, about six drones were involved in the attack. They were neutralized, but some of them fell into the oil base in the village of Yurovka. As a result, a fire broke out, which damaged several tanks.
According to preliminary data, no one was injured.
Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure have increased in recent months.
Russia has been targeting Ukrainian energy sites since the start of its full-scale invasion of the neighboring country more than two years ago.
Eight people – seven adults and an 11-year-old girl – were injured in a Ukrainian drone attack against Belgorod and the region, the governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, reported in the meantime, as quoted by TASS.
Four of the victims were hospitalized.
The Russian region bordering Ukraine is regularly the target of attacks.
