Fires and explosions at oil refineries in Russia
Ukraine has been attacking oil refineries in Russia for a long time. In particular, on August 4, there was a massive fire near an oil depot in Azov, Rostov Region.
Shortly before that, Ukrainian drones successfully attacked other Russian oil depots. In particular, in the Tambov region and the Republic of Adygea.
Another oil facility was on fire in the Rostov region. According to RBC-Ukraine's source, it was a special operation by the SSU.
