A Russian oil depot was ablaze after a Ukrainian drone struck the site in western Russia on Friday, Russian officials said. Four oil reservoirs with a total capacity of 6,000 cubic meters (1.6 million gallons) were set on fire after the drone reached Klintsy, a city of some 70,000 people located about 60 kilometers (40 miles) from the Ukrainian border, according to the local governor and state news agency Tass.

Air defenses electronically jammed the drone but it dropped its explosive payload on the facility, Bryansk regional Gov. Alexander Bogomaz said. There were no casualties, he added. The same depot was struck by a Ukrainian drone in May last year, but the damage apparently was less significant. The strike was the latest in a recently intensified effort by Ukraine to unnerve Russians and undermine Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims that life in Russia is going on as normal before the country's March 17 presidential election.
