Ukrainian drone attack Sparks Fire in Debot Oil in Sochi, southwest of Russia Russia-Ukraine, news war

Ukraine regularly struck the Russian oil and gas infrastructure in response to attacks on its soil.

The local authorities said that an attack on a Ukrainian drone at night sparked a fire in a warehouse in Sochi, the southwestern Russian resort, which hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The attack came a day after the Ukraine army said to hit Riazan oil refinery in central Russia, causing a fire. Ukraine regularly struck the Russian oil and gas infrastructure in response to the attacks on its soil since Russia began war In February 2022.

“Sochi has suffered from a drone by the Kiev regime last night,” said the ruler of the Russian Krasnodar region, Vinnamin Condateev, in the application of the correspondence in Telegram on Sunday.

Kondareev said that the drums of drones hit a “oil tank, causing a fire.”

The mayor of Sochi André Brussonin said that there were no victims and “the situation is completely under control,” adding that the firefighters were extinguishing the fire.

Rozavatia said Russia’s air transport organizer that air traffic was briefly suspended at Sochi Airport, but it resumed.

Air strikes on Sochi, about 400 km (250 miles) southeast of the Ukrainian border, are relatively rare compared to other Russian cities. However, Ukrainian drone attacks killed two people in the area late last month, according to the local authorities.

Ukrainian officials did not comment on the fire.

Kiev has warned that she would increase her air strikes against Russia in response to an increase in Russian attacks on its soil in recent weeks, which have killed dozens of civilians.

On Sunday, Ukraine Air Force said on a telegram that Russia had launched 76 drones and seven missiles targeting Ukraine overnight, and hit eight sites throughout Ukraine. She said that the air defense units in Ukraine destroyed 60 drones and one missile.

In the areas of the front lines in Zaburizia and Jerhson, at least three people were killed and more than 12 Russian attacks were injured 24 hours until Sunday morning.

The regional ruler said that a Russian missile strike in the city of Miklav in southern Ukraine was at least seven people and destroyed dozens of homes and civil infrastructure.

In the early days of the war, the Mykolaiv area stood on the front lines, facing frequent artillery and air attacks. Even after the Russian forces were pushed in late 2022, drones and missiles remained a continuous danger there.

Russia also launched a short -term missile attack on Kiev overnight, but there were no reports of injuries or damage.

In July, US President Donald Trump said he would implement a “severe tariff” on Russia unless a peace agreement was reached by early September. Last week, Trump said he would give Putin from 10 to 12 days, which means that Trump wants peace efforts to make progress from Thursday to Saturday.

So far, the Kremlin rejected the idea of a permanent ceasefire in Ukraine.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he wanted peace, but his demands to end the Moscow military attack “did not change.”

These demands include Ukraine, to abandon some of its own lands and end its ambitions to join NATO.
