At the same time, local authorities report that they have successfully repelled two drone attacks.

A UAV attacked an oil facility in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation last night.

Rostov Region Governor Vasily Golubev reports that in the west of the region, air defense forces allegedly “repulsed an attack by an aircraft-type UAV.”

He later wrote about another “repulsed attack” by drones, but this time in the southeast of the Rostov region.

“As a result of falling debris on the territory of industrial warehouses in Proletarsk, a diesel fuel fire occurred. Firefighting units were called in to put out the fire,” the governor said.

Despite such optimistic statements, a number of Russian Telegram channels are publishing footage of a major fire at an oil facility. Russian media outlets are writing that the oil depot is burning due to a drone attack.
