What is known about the fire at the oil depot in Luhansk

As a result of the fire, processing products were burnt, and the infrastructure was destroyed. Lysohor notes that the occupiers are looking for the culprits of the fire. The network suggests that there may have been actions of Ukrainian defenders, but there is no confirmation of this.
