A drone strike by Ukraine on an oil depot near Sochi ignited a significant fire. Over 120 firefighters worked to extinguish the flames. This incident follows an increase in violence, with Russian missile strikes injuring individuals in Ukraine and a substantial death toll in Kyiv due to a recent attack. Kyiv has often targeted Russian infrastructure integral to its war efforts, although assaults on Sochi have been infrequent. The Ukrainian leadership is actively seeking additional air defense systems from allies in response to escalating attacks.
An overnight Ukrainian drone attack on an oil depot near the Russian Black Sea resort of Sochi has ignited a raging fire, as the two countries traded strikes at the end of one of the deadliest weeks in Ukraine in recent months.
Kyiv has repeatedly pounded infrastructure in Russia that it sees as key to Moscow's war effort but attacks on Sochi have been relatively rare.
The strike came as a Russian missile hit a residential area in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, according to the state emergency services, wounding at least seven people.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been appealing to allies for more air defence systems to rebuff the Russian escalation.
