Fire reported at Russian oil depot in Krasnodar Krai after drone attack

A fire was reported at the Pavlovskaya oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar Krai overnight on September 28 amid a large-scale drone attack on the region, according to local reports.

Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ published footage of a large fire and identified the facility as the Pavlovskaya oil depot. The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the footage or the reported target.

The attack follows a previous drone strike on September 24, when an oil depot in Novotitarovskaya in the same region was reportedly hit. During that earlier attack, Exilenova+ reported that the facility caught fire, while Russian authorities acknowledged a fire at an unidentified facility in the Dinsky district of Krasnodar Krai.
