Last night, Ukraine's Security Service drones attacked a fuel depot in the Rostov region of Russia.

According to the newspaper's sources, last night was very hot for the Russian oil depot in Rostov Region. SSU drones attacked the facility, which stored various brands of gasoline and diesel fuel with a total volume of 12,500 cubic meters.

At night, a loud explosion occurred in the Rostov region, followed by a massive fire.

To extinguish the fire, the Russians employed almost fifty people and 14 pieces of equipment, and the fire was assigned the highest rank of complexity.

"SSU drones continue to impose targeted economic sanctions against Russia's energy complex, which is working for the war in Ukraine. More than three dozen successful strikes on Russian oil depots and refineries have already significantly reduced oil refining and revenues of Russia. And these sanctions will only increase," the source said.
