Local authorities confirmed a “massive drone attack” on this site in the locality of Stalnoï Kon, located in the Oriol region about 165km from the Ukrainian border.
Ukraine claimed this Saturday, December 14, to have bombed an oil site in the Russian region of Oriol (west) during the night, triggering a fire, with local authorities confirming a “massive attack” of drones. The Ukrainian General Staff indicated in a statement that kyiv forces had attacked this site in the locality of Stalnoï Kon, located in the Oriol region approximately 165km from the Ukrainian border.
“It is one of the largest oil terminals in the suburbs of (the city) of Oriol” which is part of the “military-industrial complex” supplying the Russian army, the Ukrainian general staff said. Alleged images of the attack, published by Russian media, show wisps of smoke billowing overnight from a fire.
“Massive drone attack”
On Telegram, the Russian governor of the region, Andrei Klychkov, confirmed on Saturday that fuel had caught fire on “an infrastructure” after a “massive drone attack”. According to him, 11 enemy drones were shot down by the anti-aircraft defense and, at 5 a.m. local time (2:00 GMT) the fire had been brought under control, but not yet extinguished. The attack did not cause any casualties, he added.
In response to Russian bombings which destroy its infrastructure and cause numerous civilian victims, kyiv regularly carries out strikes on Russian military and energy sites, sometimes very far from its border.
