Ukraine has struck an oil depot in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, officials confirmed on Wednesday.
“The hit was confirmed. A fire broke out at the facility,” the Ukrainian General Staff stated, identifying the site as a supplier of fuel to Russian forces.
The attack is part of Ukraine’s continued strikes on Russian energy and military sites, which Kyiv describes as a response to Moscow’s bombardment of Ukrainian infrastructure.
The Ukrainian military warned that “strikes on strategic targets involved in supporting Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine will continue.”
Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said Russian forces intercepted a drone attack, but debris fell onto an oil reservoir in the village of Novominskaya.
“A fire has broken out,” Kondratyev confirmed in a Telegram post, adding that 55 firefighters were dispatched to the scene.
“According to initial information, no one has been wounded,” he said, noting that the depot contained only small quantities of petroleum products.
Ukraine also claimed to have damaged a Russian air defence system in occupied Zaporizhzhia, further intensifying military confrontations.
Moscow has not officially commented on the extent of the damage but has previously accused Ukraine of targeting critical energy infrastructure.
The attack follows months of Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on Russian fuel depots, logistics hubs, and military sites.
