Ukraine Attacks Russian Fuel Depot; 17 Drones Neutralised

Russia said Wednesday it had shot down 17 Ukrainian drones as Kyiv targeted a fuel depot in Rostov, home to Moscow’s military headquarters for its war in Ukraine.

In a statement, the defence ministry stated, “During the night several attempts by the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist attacks… against targets on Russian territory were prevented”.

“Russian air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 17 drones across several border areas, as well as 10 ATACMS missiles over the annexed Crimean peninsula”, the ministry continued.

On Telegram, local governor Vasily Golubev wrote, “Two drones caused explosions at a fuel depot in Rostov without setting off a fire or wounding anyone”.

More than two years into the war with its larger and more heavily armed neighbour, Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russian energy facilities and fuel supplies.

Kyiv claims that these attacks are lawful since the installations are used to support the Russian troops.

Ukraine has vowed to take the battle to Russian soil after being bombarded for more than two years.
