Oil depot on fire in Krasnodar region following drone attack

This was reported by the ASTRA Telegram channel, according to Ukrinform.

Aleksandr Kharitonov, head of the Krasnoarmeysky district, stated that the fire was caused by falling UAV debris. No information has been provided regarding the extent of the fire or any casualties.

According to the Exilenova+ monitoring channel, three storage tanks are on fire at the oil depot.

The Poltavskaya oil depot is a regional fuel infrastructure facility that supplies fuel to parts of the Krasnodar region and the Republic of Adygea. The tank farm consists of about 28 storage tanks.

This is not the first attack on the Poltavskaya oil depot this month. A fire at this facility was previously reported on June 16.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that air defense forces had “intercepted and destroyed” 269 drones, according to the BBC Russian Service. It is claimed that the drones were shot down over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Volgograd, Kaluga, Kursk, Oryol, Saratov, Smolensk, Rostov, and Tula regions; the Moscow region; occupied Crimea; the Krasnodar region; and over the Black Sea.

As reported by Ukrinform, restrictions on fuel sales have been imposed in several Russian regions, and the Moscow authorities have allowed fuel tankers to enter the city around the clock and move about without obtaining a cargo permit.

The fuel crisis in regions of Russia and occupied Crimea arose amid strikes by the Ukrainian army on Russian oil facilities. According to media reports, the strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces halted or suspended operations at major oil refineries in central Russia; as a result, by mid-June, Russia had lost about 25% of its gasoline production compared to the average daily output in June 2025.
