Theo

Drone strikes targeted Russian oil infrastructure in the Krasnodar region, causing fires at two oil depots and damage to a cell phone tower. The incidents occurred on the night of July 6, according to local authorities and Telegram channels.

The attacks on the two oil facilities are part of a larger campaign by Ukraine. Over the past three months, Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on the Russian oil industry, causing significant disruption to the fuel supply that is important to the Russian military and at the same time reducing export revenues for the Kremlin.

The so-called operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region confirmed that unmanned aerial vehicles attacked facilities in three districts: Yeisk, Leningradsky and Pavlovsky. In Pavlovskaya Stanitsa, fuel tanks of an oil depot caught fire, allegedly due to falling drone debris. A fuel tank also caught fire in Leningradskaya.as a result of a UAV attack”, says a statement from headquarters.

In Yeisk, Russian air defense systems apparently shot down several drones. However, according to the same source, debris from the intercepted drones caused “minor damage” to a cell phone tower.

The operational headquarters added: “According to preliminary information, there are no casualties.”

Videos of the burning oil depots have appeared on the Russian Telegram channel Astra, showing significant fires in the facilities.
