Ukraine’s State Security Service (SBU) attacked two oil depots in Russia’s Krasnodar region overnight on May 9, a source familiar with the information told the Kyiv Independent.

According to the source, the SBU launched a “successful” drone attack on oil depots in the village of Yurovka in the region.

The oil depots damaged in the attack were reportedly transshipment points for fuel deliveries to Russian forces stationed in occupied Crimea.
