Ukrainian drone attack causes huge fire at Russian oil depot

A Ukrainian drone attacked and set alight an oil depot in Russia’s Bryansk region, the local governor has said.

Alexander Bogomaz said more than a dozen fire engines had rushed to extinguish the blaze, and that early reports indicate there were no casualties.

Unverified footage posted on social media shows thick black smoke pouring into the sky as the fire rages, alongside what appear to be storage tanks.

Mr Bogomaz wrote on Telegram: “An aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicle was suppressed by electronic warfare equip[ment of the Russian Ministry of Defence.

As usual, Russian media will report the incident as "Russian Air Force successfully shot down a drone but the remains fell on a depot. "

It's almost as if Ukraine thinks this special operation is more like a war.

It was suppressed by electronic warfare equipment??? Looks like it hit its target to me.

The chances of a drone being shot down and hitting an oil refinery are incalculable.

That "special military operation" apears to have moved into Russia. How interesting.
