At the same time, the governor of the Smolensk region Vasily Anokhin reports that an oil depot was attacked in the region. Because of this, a fire occurred at fuel and energy facilities in two districts of the region.

“In all likelihood, as a result of an enemy attack on civilian fuel and energy facilities, fires occurred in the Smolensky and Yartsevo districts. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is eliminating the consequences on the spot. Please remain calm and not give in to panic,” he wrote.

The governor of the Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev , said that 4 drones were shot down. As a result of falling debris from one of them, a fire allegedly occurred on the territory of a private housing construction, which was localized. At the same time, the videos indicate something else.

Attacks on Russian refineries

Expert Konstantin Krivolap said that Ukrainian attacks covered 50% of Russian oil refineries .

According to expert Alexander Kovalenko, attacks on oil refineries in Russia may be one of the non-linear solutions to counter Russia’s active use of aerial bombs.

The National Security and Defense Council explained that the idea of ​​attacks on oil refineries on Russian territory is to put pressure on Putin.
