In recent months, Ukrainian forces have launched a series of drone strikes aimed at damaging Russia's oil industry, the profits of which fuel Moscow's war efforts. One of the images shows a large fire still burning hours after the attack which was carried out by drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), a source in security and defense forces told the Kyiv Independent earlier on June 18.
According to Schemes, the depot in the city of Azov is run by "Azovproduct" and can store up to 30,000 tons of oil products. There are no further details of the damage caused at this time.
