According to the operational headquarters of Russia’s Krasnodar region, falling drone debris caused a fire at an oil depot in the village of Poltavskaya, in the Krasnoarmeysky district.
“Due to the fall of UAV debris, a fire broke out at an oil depot in the village of Poltavskaya, Krasnoarmeysky district,” the headquarters said.
Russian officials routinely describe such incidents as fires caused by “falling drone debris,” a formulation that avoids acknowledging that the facility itself may have been directly hit.
A road between the village of Poltavskaya and the hamlet of Trudobelikovsky was closed following the drone attack, the regional headquarters added.
According to Russian media, the Poltavskaya oil depot receives fuel from refineries, including Lukoil facilities, and redistributes it to gas station networks across Krasnodar Krai and Adygea.
