Oil tanks at a storage facility in the town of Klintsy in Russia’s Bryansk region caught fire after the military brought down a Ukrainian drone, Alexander Bogomaz, the regional governor, said on Friday.
According to preliminary information, nobody had been hurt in the incident, Bogomaz said, adding that the fire was being put out by firefighting teams.
“An aeroplane-style drone was brought down by the defence ministry using radio-electronic means. When the aerial target was destroyed, its munitions were dropped on the territory of the Klintsy oil depot,” Bogomaz wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
Bogomaz said a further two Ukrainian drones had been shot down over other parts of Bryansk by air defence units.

🇺🇦🇺🇦SLAVA♥️ UKRAINI🇺🇦🇺🇦
2 planes downed and one oil tank downed may be the Ukrainian's troupes will enter Russia
territory by the dawn to conquer Crimea !
Is that what the Ukrainian's women and children scattered around Europe are waiting to ear ?
What stupidity from the Times News !
The world want's that war to stop and negotiation to begins so that the few of Ukrainians
who are still alive to go back to their country and rebuild it, OK ?
No this kind of Fo ck f news !
Russia down Ukrainian drones over an oil depot. Ukraine down Russia drones over nursery's and hospitals.
So much carbon emissions which will destroy the earth
Have we still got an army?
Bet they blame it on a Russian smoking again. Those Russian Cigarettes, they seem very powerful.
lesson – dont shoot at explosive drones, over oil depot
Ukrainians kindly providing much needed heat to Crussia.
"Ivan, it's finally warm over here!"
Ukraine president zelensky has given a good start for the war the rich countries in the world was ready to start a war they made so many dangerous weapons but noone has started a war except you. Because America and NATO countries was looking for a Fool they'd got it. And you are changing the world. And gave a example from the results of Ukraine losses and deaths no ending. You are trying to capture Russia. Perhaps if you fight for many years you get it or loose whole country. Biggest joke ever done
Little Nikita from Bryansk is weeping right now.💦His pet hamster Mr Nibbles and his cute bow tie🎀are currently stewing in Babushkas borscht. #Hamster_Borscht🐹🍲 #Hamster_Lives_Matter🐹❤
I heard the Ukrainians were burning the midnight oil, planning for this attack.
Not Another Fire….
that drone isn USA made so …..
https://www.youtube.com/@foxtvM7585❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😮😅😅😅
O-Dear, more Russians going to Freeze this winter… how they mocked the West. Well Putin will be warm though.
If you believe the russkis shot down that drone, you also believe in the tooth fairy.
👏👏👏👏
Where are all the climate activists? Banning leaf blowers but yet blowing up oil depots. The hypocrisy is real! No more weapons, put a stop to this nonsense!
Interesting strategy. One would generally not shoot an explosive drone down onto their oil depot, but Russia has been a real innovator in this war.
Does Putin pay for the rebuilding of civilian infrastructure destroyed? It is his war.
lol
Just as well those Russians were able to shoot it down before it did any damage! …Oh, wait!…
Надеюсь, россияне не удивится. Око за око зуб за зуб, они беспричинно убивают, воруют и насилуют своих соседей. Только дурак может доверять Путину эти сказки, Который, как будто, измывается над Гитлером.
The drone wasn’t downed it hit its target come on
It’s not co incidence that an oil field catches fire in Russia
Those oil and gas were for European buyers through middle men. Get ready for bigger bills, friends😅 And don't forget to send more billions to Zelensky's bank accounts😅😅😅
