A large drone swarm of Ukrainian long-range unmanned aircraft struck a strategic oil storage depot managed by the Russian Federal Agency for State Reserves in Yaroslavl Oblast this afternoon, according to reports monitored by the desk. The facility, which contains more than 60 storage tanks, serves as a central logistics hub for Russian military units. Reports describe massive fires at the site.
This strike follows a pattern of Ukrainian deep-strike operations against Russian energy infrastructure. As The Zioneer reported at 12:10 Jerusalem today, President Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian drones struck an oil facility in Yaroslavl Oblast as well as an explosives plant in Tula Oblast — though that report did not include details on damage. The bulletin at 15:20 describes a large fresh attack on the same strategic depot, suggesting a follow-up or more detailed reporting on the same target. Damage and casualty figures have not yet been independently verified.
