This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the Russian media.

It is noted that the relevant oil depot, which was attacked by a UAV, is located in the village of Yurivka in the Kuban, according to the Telegram channels Mash and Cheka-OGPU.

It is also worth noting that footage of the alleged attack on the base with the use of a drone or drones was published online. In the video, you can hear the characteristic sound of a motor, preceded by a drone, followed by a powerful explosion and a bright flash in the night sky.

Later, propagandists said that six Ukrainian drones allegedly "tried to attack" the oil depot but were “landed” by the electronic warfare system. However, some UAVs fell directly on the tanks in the village of Yurivka, and a fire broke out at the base.

According to the Mash TV channel, 62 firefighters and 20 pieces of equipment are working at the scene. According to preliminary information, there are no casualties.
