A fire at the oil depot is unstoppable in the Bryansk region
On the morning of January 19, drones attacked the Russian oil depot in the Bryansk region.
Subsequently, the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) representative, Andrii Yusov, confirmed that it was a new successful special operation of Ukrainian intelligence.
Nice rumble, nice explosive. Such events regularly occur at military facilities of the aggressor state. It is clear that when we are talking about the oil depot, which is involved in the supply of fuel and lubricants to the occupying corps, it complicates the logistics for the occupiers, it disrupts the supply schedules and provides additional opportunities, increases the room for maneuver for our defenders, Andrii Yusov emphasised.

In addition, DIU drones also attacked the Tambov gunpowder factory. According to the local population, this object also suffered significant destruction.
