Ukraine claimed on Saturday December 14 to have bombed an oil site in the Russian region of Oriol (west of the country) during the night, triggering a fire. The Ukrainian General Staff stressed in a statement that kyiv forces attacked this site in the locality of Stalnoï Kon, located in the Oriol region about 165 km from the Ukrainian border.
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”. Images published by Russian media show plumes of smoke escaping overnight from a fire. The attack did not cause any casualties, he added.
In response to Russian bombings which are destroying its infrastructure and causing numerous civilian casualties, kyiv regularly carries out drone strikes in Russia, particularly on military and energy sites.
During the night from Friday to Saturday, Russia carried out an attack on Ukraine with 132 drones, 130 of which were neutralized, the Ukrainian Air Force said. For its part, the Kremlin army said on Saturday that it had shot down around forty enemy drones during the night and morning, mainly over Russian regions bordering Ukraine.
