The recent attack on the port city of Azov in Russia’s Rostov Region, caused by a Ukrainian drone strike, resulted in a major fire at an oil storage facility. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the fire was contained with the efforts of around 200 firefighters. The incident, following a massive Ukrainian raid on the region, raised tensions in the area.
Locals in Azov reported hearing explosions early in the morning as the city, located on the coast of the Azov Sea, faced the aftermath of the attack. The region has been a target for Ukrainian drone raids, with the recent strike being part of an ongoing conflict between the two nations.
Ukrainian military officials defended their actions, citing the necessity to target Russian energy infrastructure to counter Russian attacks on Ukrainian facilities. The exchange of strikes has severely impacted both countries’ energy capabilities, further escalating the conflict.
