Russian officials say a fuel depot in the Kamensky district of Russia's Rostov region caught fire early Saturday after a Ukrainian drone attack.
The Ukrainian military confirmed the strikes destroyed an ammunition depot at the Morozovsk airfield, where Russian forces were storing aerial bombs and other equipment, as well as several oil depots and fuel storage facilities. It added that the strikes on oil depots and fuel and lubricants storage facilities in the Belgorod, Kursk and Rostov regions set fire to at least two oil tanks.
Local authorities ordered residents in nearby settlements to close windows and stay indoors due to air pollution.
The fire was extinguished by midday, local authorities said.
There have been no reports of casualties.
Ukraine Sinks Russian Submarine
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military announced on Saturday (3/8) that it had sunk a submarine in Russian-held Sevastopol, attacked an airfield in southern Russia, and hit oil depots and fuel and lubricant storage facilities in the Belgorod, Kursk and Rostov regions.
“A Russian submarine sank to the bottom of the Black Sea,” the Defense Ministry said in X, naming the vessel as the B-237 Rostov-on-Don attack submarine.
The military general staff stated that the attack on the Sevastopol Port also caused serious damage to four launchers of the S-400 “Triumf” air defense system. (em/ah/jm)
