The strike on a depot in Kamensky district comes amid an ongoing blaze at an oil storage facility in Proletarsk city.
A Ukrainian drone attack has set an oil depot in Russia’s southern region of Rostov alight, the authorities said.
On Wednesday, regional Governor Vasily Golubev confirmed the overnight strike, saying on the Telegram messaging app that firefighters were extinguishing the blaze at the depot in Rostov’s Kamensky district, with no casualties reported.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence earlier said air defence units destroyed four drones over the region overnight, without mentioning the attack on the oil depot.
Three tanks were burning at the oil depot after two drones fell in the area, according to the Baza Telegram channel, which is close to Russian security services.
Ukraine’s strike marked its latest attack on Russian oil and gas facilities in retaliation for attacks on its energy infrastructure.
A large fire has been raging at an oil storage facility in Rostov’s city of Proletarsk since August 18 after an earlier Ukrainian drone attack some 200km (125 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

“Programmable ammunition of the 23mm caliber fired from the ZU-23-2, primed for air-burst modes in hundreds of rounds, can create a massive wall of shrapnel, enough to hit incoming cruise missiles’ front nose sections and the engine, disabling them mid-air.
“Mainland Russia, like Moscow and Belgorod, and even the Kremlin have come under Ukrainian drone attacks this way. The Russian capital is, however, already protected by the Pantsir and Tor medium and short-range point defense systems for the purpose.”

Pretty much. It’s called ReAnimation in the trade.
The Russians do not have the expertise or equipment to control these types of fires.

Find yourself a better hobby, kid!
That shrapnel not intercepting the missiles then continues on its course, possibly killing civilians on the ground.
Britons had a similar problem with Buzz Bombs during WWII; attempting to shoot them down with anti-aircraft artillery - even if successful - was ultimately more destructive to British life and property.

Some how, most likely traitorous Russians, have programed the massive wall to have holes in it which allow something to hit the oil tanks and ammo dumps, causing massive fires to burn for days. Or possibility saboteurs.
