On the night of November 12, a Ukrainian drone attacked an oil depot on the territory of Stary Oskol municipal district in Belgorod region, said the Governor of the region Vyacheslav Gladkov.

‘As a result of the explosion, one of the tanks caught fire. Ten fire brigades were working on the site, which promptly eliminated the fire. There are no casualties,' Gladkov wrote on his Telegram channel.

The Stary Oskol municipal district is located in the north-east of Belgorod region and borders on Kursk and Voronezh regions. Two large oil depots are located in the Stary Oskol area: in the south of the town - the Oskolneftesnab base with 24 storage tanks for petrol and diesel fuel, and in the west - the Gubkinskaya oil depot of Belgorodnefteprodukt (owned by Rosneft) with 13 tanks for petrol and diesel fuel. The latter was subjected to drone attacks in March and August this year.
