Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces have carried out a strike on oil infrastructure in the Russian Federation. The target was the Rosneft-KubanNefteProdukt oil depot.

According to the Unmanned Systems Forces, the 14th Separate UAV Regiment continues to strike the aggressor's oil infrastructure. An attack was carried out on the Rosneft-KubanNefteProdukt oil depot in the city of Adler, Krasnodar Krai.

Local residents reported at least 20 explosions and intense air defense activity. As a result of the strike, a large fire broke out at the facility, and its aftermath is still being dealt with.

The attack also disrupted operations at Sochi's local airport.

"The operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces excel not only in destroying enemy personnel and equipment, but also in carrying out deep strikes on hostile military facilities," the statement reads.

On the night of August 3, a number of Russian cities once again came under attack by unidentified drones. For instance, in the Russian city of Voronezh, at least 10 explosions were reported.
