Details: The Russian official said that “more than 10 UAVs” attacked the territory of three districts of Voronezh Oblast last night, and “most of them fell on an oil depot in the Liskinsky district”.
Quote from Gusev: “At the initial stage, firefighting was complicated by the threat of repeated attacks on the facility. Currently, reinforced fire crews are fighting the fire at several tanks, dozens of vehicles and two fire trains. Additional forces have been sent from two neighbouring oblasts.”
Details: The head of the oblast assures that there are no casualties and that citizens’ property has not been damaged.
