A fire broke out at an oil depot in southwestern Russia after a Ukrainian drone attack, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said today.

"The Russian military repelled the drone attack," but the remains of the aircraft fell on an oil "reservoir" in the town of Novominskaya, in the Krasnodar Territory, Kondratyev wrote on Telegram.

A fire broke out and 55 firefighters were dispatched to the scene.

"According to initial information, no one was injured," the governor added, assuring that there were only "a few insignificant residues of petroleum products" in the depot.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, two Ukrainian drones were also shot down overnight over the Kursk region and two more over the Belgorod region, on the border with Ukraine.
