Pervishov said there were no casualties and that fire crews and law enforcement were deployed to the site. He provided no further details, and Ukraine’s military has not commented on the incident.
Footage circulating on Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels appeared to show explosions and flames, though the images could not be independently verified.
In Voronezh Oblast, Governor Alexander Gusev said four drones were detected and destroyed over two districts. He added that several fuel tanks sustained “slight damage” in one of the affected areas but reported no fires or casualties.
Ukraine has repeatedly targeted oil infrastructure inside Russia in an effort to disrupt military logistics, fuel supplies, and key revenue sources supporting Moscow’s war effort.
