A fire broke out at an oil depot in the village of Poltavskaya in Russia's Krasnodar region. Regional authorities stated that the incident occurred due to debris from a drone attack that took place during the night.
The Krasnodar regional operations center reported that the drone wreckage caused the fire at the depot in Poltavskaya, located in the Krasnoarmeysky district. The statement noted that the flames were brought under control quickly.
Emergency teams were dispatched to the area due to the fire. Security measures were implemented during the response, and movement in the surrounding area was temporarily restricted.
Authorities announced that the road between Poltavskaya and the settlement of Trudobelikovsky was closed following the attack. No information was provided on when the road will reopen to traffic.
The incident occurred amid an increase in Ukraine's attacks targeting Russia's fuel and logistics infrastructure. However, the regional officials' statement did not specify whether the facility was directly hit.
Russian officials often describe similar incidents as fires caused by "falling drone debris." The recent event in Krasnodar was reported within this same context.
