During the night before Wednesday, December 3, drones of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck oil depots in Russia’s Voronezh and Tambov regions.

Astra and authorities in those regions reported on this.

The governor of the Voronezh region stated that fuel storage tanks were damaged in the drone attack.

“In one of the districts, several fuel tanks were slightly damaged after a downed UAV fell. No fire broke out,” Aleksandr Gusev claimed.

According to him, during the night, the air-defense forces of the aggressor country allegedly detected and destroyed four unmanned aerial vehicles over Voronezh and in two districts of the region. The Russian official did not disclose which specific oil depot was attacked.
