Blaze at another Russian oil depot in Rostov after Ukrainian attack (video)

In the early hours of 28 August, a drone attack reportedly targeted an oil depot in Russia’s Rostov Oblast, resulting in a fire that engulfed multiple tanks. The incident occurred near Molodezhny, approximately 180km from the frontline and close to the Russian border with occupied Luhansk Oblast.

Russian channel Baza reported that around 3 a.m., two drones “fell” on the oil depot, igniting a fire. By 4 a.m., three tanks were burning. No casualties have been reported, and two firefighting trains were dispatched to control the blaze.

Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev claimed that around 3 a.m., four drones were shot down in the region. He later confirmed that the drone attack had caused a fire at a fuel storage facility in the Kamensky district.

“Emergency response forces are involved in extinguishing the fire. There is no threat of fire spreading to residential buildings,” Golubev stated.

Local media identified the affected facility as belonging to the Atlas plant of the Federal Agency for State Reserves Management, located not far from the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

The fire at the Atlas oil depot in Rostov Oblast's Kamensky district wasn't extinguished as of this morning.
