Oil depot still burning in Voronezh region of Russia
According to the local governor, the territory of three districts of the region was attacked by more than 10 drones at night, most of which struck an oil depot in the Liskin district.
At the initial stage, extinguishing the fire was complicated by the threat of repeated attacks on the facility. Currently, reinforced fire crews are fighting the fire on several tanks: dozens of units of equipment and two fire trains. Additional forces have been sent from two neighboring regions, the Russian governor said.
