In temporarily occupied Makiivka, a suburb of Donetsk, an oil depot caught fire after a drone attack carried out by Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
The Supernova+ Telegram channel reported the incident and published a video from the scene.
The strike took place on the night of March 1. Shortly beforehand, local residents reported seeing drones flying over the city.
Local residents recorded video showing large flames and a massive column of black smoke visible from afar, and confirmed that the strike hit the oil depot.
A day earlier, drones from the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck an oil depot in temporarily occupied Luhansk.
“Less fuel means fewer opportunities for maneuvering, rotations, and supporting assault operations,” the military shared.
A previous strike on the oil depot in Russian-occupied Luhansk occurred on February 22. At that time, a large fire also broke out at the facility.
