In Pavlovskaya village, a drone hit the territory of an oil depot, causing a fire in fuel tanks. Astra Group analysts write that the oil depot belongs to Lukoil. In Leningradskaya rural locality, a fuel tank also caught fire as a result of a drone attack.

Such attacks on oil refineries and storage facilities are aimed at reducing Russia's economic potential. "Our task is to deprive the enemy of resources and reduce the flow of oil money and fuel that Russia directs directly to the war, to the killing of our citizens," a source told the BBC.
