Three tanks at an oil storage depot in Russia’s Kursk region have caught fire as a result of a Ukraine-launched drone attack, reports Reuters.
A fire at one of the tanks was quickly extinguished. 82 firefighters were involved in trying to put out fires at the other two tanks, using 32 pieces of equipment. The drones also damaged some residential buildings in the region, injuring one person. Both sides deny targeting civilians.
Reuters could not independently verify the various reports. Kyiv has said its strikes on Russia’s energy, military and transport infrastructure are in response to Moscow’s continued attacks on Ukraine’s territory.
