An oil depot in Russia exploded in a towering inferno this morning after a drone attack thought to have been orchestrated by Ukraine.
Three tanks containing thousands of tonnes of diesel fuel caught fire around 6am local time at a site in Bryansk, a Russian region that borders Ukraine to the north.
The fire began after a drone dropped explosives into one of the fuel tanks, according to Russian media. Nobody was injured in the attack.
Videos taken shortly after the strike showed two fuel tanks spewing smoke and flame with at least one showing signs of blast damage, with its metal shell bent outwards.
Russian media said the origin of the drone is 'unknown' and Kyiv has not claimed credit, but is widely thought to be behind dozens of attacks on facilities used to supply Putin's armies located in Russia's western border regions.
Bryansk, Kursk and Belgorod - three oblasts that border northern Ukraine - have been repeatedly targeted.
'Reservoirs with oil products are on fire in the Surazhsky district. Fire and rescue teams are at the scene,' governor Alexander Bogomaz said on social media.
Bogomaz said the fire engulfed an area of 1,800 square metres (19,000 square feet) and over 80 people were involved in putting it out.
He added that there were no reports of casualties.
Citing emergency services, state news agency TASS later reported that the fire had spread to an area of 4,000 square metres.

With those KIA rates it’s no wonder you changed your mind about joining the fight.

FTA:
The fire began after a drone dropped explosives into one of the fuel tanks, according to Russian media.So...the drone dropped explosives or perhaps it fired a couple of missiles. Either way, I wonder if the Turkish TB-2 drones were used. Perhaps UKR is now manufacturing their own drones.
Why weren't the drones blasted out of the shy by S-400s?

If they are acknowledging 100,000 KIAs three times that many are wounded.
To: Timber Rattler
Drones don’t carry large explosive payloads. These must have been “special” drones.
Anyways, up in smoke, Russkies!
