Ukrainian drones struck the Poltavskaya fuel storage depot in Krasnodar Krai overnight Thursday, sparking a fire, according to the regional Kuban task force. No casualties were initially reported. This is the third attack on the same depot in June.
Ukrainian one-way attack drones struck the Poltavskaya fuel depot in Krasnodar Krai overnight Thursday, June 25, igniting a fire that prompted the closure of a nearby road, the regional Kuban task force reported. The depot, which supplies gasoline and diesel to parts of Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Adygea, houses 28 storage tanks. Ukrainian monitoring channel Exilenova+ reported that three tanks caught fire in the strike. No casualties were reported.
The attack is the third on the same depot this month, following drone strikes on June 6 and June 16. Both previous attacks also caused large fires but no reported casualties. The pattern underscores Ukraine's campaign to target Russian fuel infrastructure deep inside its territory, relying on domestically-produced long-range drones.
