Drones Attacked Oil Depot in Rostov Region: Details from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.


The Ukrainian armed forces successfully attacked the Kavkaz plant in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation. This facility was used for the storage of oil and petroleum products, which was necessary for the Russian occupation army. This was reported by 'Khvylya' with reference to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Russian information resources.
The operation was carried out by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in cooperation with other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result of the strike, at least two fire spots occurred on the plant's territory.
Russian Telegram channels confirmed the fact of the attack, reporting a fire at an oil depot in Proletarsk.
According to Telegram channels, the attack took place in two stages, complicating the firefighting efforts. The governor of the Rostov region, Vasiliy Golubev, noted that there was an attempt to repel the attack, but the falling debris caused the ignition of diesel fuel at the warehouses.
This is not the first attempt to attack this facility; a similar operation was conducted in May this year. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not yet provided detailed information on the impact of the strike, but states that measures to undermine Russia's military-economic potential will continue.
Additionally, there are reports that drones might have damaged fuel depots for Kinzhal hypersonic missiles at the 'Savvasleika' airfield.
