It should be noted that on June 18, drones attacked an oil depot in the village of Chushka, Temryuk district, Krasnodar Territory.
Earlier that day, drones launched an attack on an oil depot located in the city of Azov in the Rostov region. This led to a fire breaking out in the tanks storing oil products, which has now been put out for the second day in a row.
