“ Marinovka airfield… the drones attacked ammunition depots. One of them hit a fuel storage facility… Sources say that at least two Su-34s were seriously damaged.”

That base hosted fighter-bombers, of the kind that deliver the glide bombs that have been such a problem for Ukraine. Other such bases have had their ammo storage areas attacked recently.

I saw some video showing heavy dark black smoke rising after the sun had risen, which I would guess was a diesel fire.

NATO ISR flights over the western Black Sea are back after a few weeks absence. Occupied south Kherson region and Crimea appear to be the surveillance targets.

Prayers didn’t help. A fire at an oil depot in the Rostov region killed 47 rescuers

Friends, the fire extinguishing effort at the oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov Region, has been going on for the fifth day now. Let us remind you that it was attacked on the night of August 18, and firefighting is still ongoing.

Unfortunately, tanks explode and prevent the consequences from being eliminated. According to our information, 47 rescuers died at the scene of a serious fire, and another 31 are listed as missing.

Alas, the prayers held near the oil depot did not help. Let us remind you that they also wanted to hold them in the Kursk region, hoping that this would help deter the enemy’s advance on our territory.

As people of faith, we support holding prayer services. However, relying only on them is a lost cause. To extinguish a fire, as well as to contain the advance of the enemy, it is necessary to use all efforts.

Russian locals can’t believe how bad the situation is at Marinovka military airfield near Volgograd after it was hit by a Ukrainian drone swarm this morning.

There are still plenty of secondary explosions.
