A fuel storage facility caught fire in Russia's Rostov region overnight on Sunday, May 31, following a drone attack.
Rostov Region Governor Yury Slyusar said that a fuel depot belonging to a "private company working with agricultural producers" caught fire in the Matveyevo-Kurgan district after what he described as the "falling debris" of a UAV, Ukrinform reports, citing DW.
"Residents of nearby private homes have been evacuated as a precaution. There is no threat to people. Emergency services are working at the scene, and a firefighting train has arrived and begun extinguishing the blaze," Slyusar wrote on social media.
No casualties have been reported so far.
Meanwhile, Saratov Region Governor Roman Busargin said that "civilian infrastructure facilities" had been damaged in the region.
However, local authorities did not specify which facilities were affected.
According to several OSINT channels, the strike targeted the Saratov oil refinery.
The refinery has previously been targeted multiple times by Ukrainian drone attacks.
