The Russian oil depot in the Krasnodar Krai was struck and suffered serious damage after an attack by a group of drones.
Local media report that in the morning of May 9th, around 4:00 AM, a group of 6-7 drones attacked the Russian oil depot near the village of Yurovka, Krasnodar Krai.
As a result of the attack, several fuel tanks were successfully hit and caught fire. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties.
The local authorities also confirmed the drone strike and explosions at the oil depot:
'About 6 UAVs were suppressed, but some fell on the territory of the oil depot. As a result, a fire broke out — several tanks were damaged.'
The Yurovka oil depot is a typical fuel infrastructure facility, housing 5 large fuel tanks with a capacity of 5000 cubic meters each, as well as several smaller ones. It is connected to a railway branch where fuel tanks can also be placed.
The Russian facility is located 300 kilometers directly from the front line in Zaporizhzhia. However, it is not excluded that drones could have been launched via a route over the Black Sea, potentially extending the flight distance to 800 km.
