Drones struck an oil depot in Russia’s Kursk region, causing three fuel tanks to catch fire, reported Roman Starovoit, the region’s governor.
Starovoit wrote that 165 people were working to put out the blaze and that they had managed to stop its spread. There are no reports of casualties.
Around 10:00 a.m. Moscow time, RIA Novosti reported that the fire at one of the three tanks had been contained.
A source in Ukraine’s special services told the outlet Suspilne that Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate was responsible for the attack.
