Russia claimed that parts of an oil terminal and adjacent territory in the Bryansk region came under artillery fire on Saturday.
Alexander Bogomaz, the region’s governor, told the Russian media outlet RIA that there were no “victims”.
The city of Bryansk is located less than 100 miles from the border with Ukraine.
Last week, large fires broke out at two oil depots in the city. Military analyst Rob Lee said that the fire was “probably” a result of Ukrainian sabotage.
Another possibility is that if these are military reserves, the officers in charge have been stealing and selling fuel. A fire blamed on “Ukrainian sabotage” then becomes very convenient.
