Drone Strike Destroys Russian Oil Depot in Krasnodar
A large fire, possibly caused by earlier drone attacks, has destroyed the Naftatrans Kavkazskaya oil storage facility in Russia’s Krasnodar region. Multiple explosions engulfed the facility, which was reportedly near capacity with oil, and firefighters have lost control of the blaze despite the scale of the fire growing. The facility’s proximity to residential areas, though only two kilometers away, has not prompted an evacuation order. The incident significantly impacts Russia’s oil export infrastructure, given the depot’s connections to key pipelines and terminals.
