August 04, 2025

AN overnight Ukrainian drone attack on an oil depot near Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi sparked a major fire, Russian officials said yesterday, as the two countries traded strikes.

More than 120 firefighters attempted to extinguish the blaze, sparked after debris from a downed drone struck a fuel tank, Krasnodar provincial governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on social media yesterday.

Video footage on social media appeared to show huge pillars of smoke billowing above the oil depot. Russia’s civil aviation authority, Rosaviatsia, temporarily stopped flights at Sochi’s airport.

Further north, authorities in Russia's Voronezh province reported four people were injured in another Ukrainian drone strike.
