Ukrainian Defense Forces Strike Oil Depot in Occupied Shakhtarsk, Donetsk Region

In the early hours of November 3, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched another strike on an oil depot in the occupied city of Shakhtarsk, the Horlivka district of the Donetsk region.

The Supernova+ Telegram channel shared a video of the attack.

According to the CyberBoroshno, the strike triggered an explosion near the oil depot.

The settlement is located 50 kilometers east of Donetsk. The city has been under the control of Russian forces and their affiliated groups since 2014.

The oil depot in Shakhtarsk serves as an important logistics hub for supplying fuel to the Russian forces.

In 2023, the Ukrainian Defense Forces had already struck this facility.

The occupation administration of Shakhtarsk claimed that the fire was allegedly caused by a missile strike.
