Details: Drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and other units from the Ukrainian defence forces are known to have targeted an oil depot belonging to the firm Annanefteprodukt near the village of Anna in Russia's Voronezh Oblast on the night of 3-4 October. The Ukrainska Pravda source noted that 20 tanks containing fuel and lubricants had been located there.

The source explained that Russian air defence systems were actively engaged but failed to intercept the UAVs near the base. Local residents reported five heavy drone strikes, which were followed by a large-scale fire.

Quote: "In addition to active operations targeting Russian airfields and warehouses containing missile and guided aerial bombs, the SSU does not forget about oil depots on enemy territory. They are an important logistical component of warfare. The velvet season of ‘cotton’ is in full swing." [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word ‘vzryv’ (explosion), used ‘khlopok’ (a bang) instead. However, ‘khlopok’ also means ‘cotton’, and this has since become a meme – ed.]
