Ukrainian drone attack sparks fire at oil depot in Sochi, southwest Russia

An overnight Ukrainian drone attack has sparked a fire at an oil depot in Sochi, the southwestern Russian resort that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, local authorities say. The attack came a day after Ukraine's military said it struck the Ryazan oil refinery in central Russia, causing a fire. Ukraine has regularly hit Russian oil and gas infrastructure in response to attacks on its own territory since Russia began its war in February 2022. "Sochi suffered a drone attack by the Kyiv regime last night," the governor of Russia's Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev, said on the Telegram messaging application on Sunday. Drone wreckage hit an "oil tank, which caused a fire", Kondratiev said.
