MOSCOW: Ukrainian drones damaged an oil depot in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region and caused several fires, Russian officials said Sunday.

Ukraine has targeted Russian oil infrastructure throughout Moscow’s full-scale offensive against Kyiv, which has killed thousands.

Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said an oil storage facility in the Black Sea village of Volna — near Moscow-annexed Crimea — was damaged.

Volna is where Russia’s Port of Taman — used for oil, coal and grain shipment — is located.
