On July 28, 2024, at about 1 a.m., an oil depot in the village of Polievaya, which contains a total of 10 tanks for short-term oil storage, was attacked.

According to local residents, they first heard strange noises in the sky, followed by several violent explosions.

The explosion caused a huge fire, which required 82 rescue workers and 32 special devices to extinguish.

Initially, according to official information from the Russian authorities, all drones over the Kursk region had been shot down, but the region’s governor later confirmed that the oil depot had been hit.

The attacked oil depot is located at coordinates 51.61059313020496, 36.4922042867156 and belongs to the company Polevaya LLC.

It is located 150 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border and a railway line runs through the village, which can also accommodate tanker trucks.
