Ukrainian Drones Target Russian Fuel Depot In Cross-Border Attack

Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks as he attends a ceremony to launch new air and road infrastructure facilities in various country's regions via videoconference at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia,

Ukrainian drones have struck a major Russian fuel depot for the second time in just over a week, as part of a 'massive' cross-border attack on fuel and energy facilities that Kyiv alleges supply Moscow's military. The latest strike occurred at the Stalnoy Kon oil terminal in Russia's southern Oryol region, resulting in a fire that was later extinguished without causing casualties or significant damage, according to local officials.

The attack on the fuel depot in Oryol comes in the wake of Russia's recent assaults on Ukraine's energy grid, which have raised concerns about potential power outages as winter intensifies in the region. The ongoing conflict between the two countries has escalated, with Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine nearing the three-year mark.
