Ukrainian Armed Forces drones attack oil depot in Smolensk region: powerful fire breaks out (video)

Drones also launched a massive attack on Sevastopol.

Last night, Ukrainian UAVs attacked not only occupied Crimea , but also Orel and the Smolensk region. In the latter region, the drones’ target was the oil depot in Yartsevo.

According to local residents, the first explosions began to be heard after 3:40. In total, more than a dozen powerful explosions were heard, after which a powerful fire began in the area of the oil depot, which is currently being extinguished.

The fire at the oil depot was also confirmed by the head of the Yartsevo district, who stated that “there was an attack by Ukrainian UAVs on a fuel and energy complex facility, and as a result of the enemy attack, fires occurred.”

Smolensk region does not border Ukraine: it is separated from Ukrainian territory by Bryansk region and Belarus.

At the same time, the governor of the Bryansk region of Russia, Alexander Bogomaz, announced in the morning that 19 Ukrainian kamikaze drones were shot down over the Bryansk region of Russia – “all attacks repelled, all targets destroyed.” However, given the attack on the oil depot in the Smolensk region, most likely, many drones managed to slip through unnoticed.

Attack on oil depot in Russia

Also, the Telegram channel “Krym.Realii” writes about a massive attack on Sevastopol last night. According to their data, from about 00:00 to 3:30, two attacks were recorded in the area of Kazachya Bay. There were both ground explosions and the destruction of drones. The second attack was the most powerful.

The Russian head of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozzhayev, announced the destruction of several UAVs and a sea drone. The Russian Defense Ministry announced the destruction of 17 drones over Crimea.

Strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation

Recently, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a high-precision strike on a plant producing solid fuel for ballistic missiles in the Rostov region. We are talking about a military-industrial complex facility in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

Also recently, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in Orel , one of the largest in Russia. This oil depot was previously attacked on December 14 and burned for several days .
