According to Klychkov, the Russian air defense system shot down around 20 drones, which were primarily aimed at fuel and energy supply objects. Russia's Ministry of Defense reported the shooting down of a total of 42 drones in the Oryol, Rostov, Bryansk, Kursk and Krasnodar regions. The information cannot be verified independently.
The fuel depot near the village of Stalnoi Kon was attacked a week ago. Kiev's military justified the attack by claiming that the reservoirs were used to supply the Russian army. However, the storage facility also supplies the Druzhba oil pipeline to Europe.
