Combat drone fell into camp
The opponent of the war reported a fire at a Russian fuel depot on Friday following a Ukrainian drone attack. In the Voronezh region, parts of an intercepted combat drone fell into the depot and set fire to an empty cistern. By attacking refineries and fuel depots, Ukraine wants to disrupt the supply of the Russian army.

The latter is currently advancing further and further in various sectors in eastern Ukraine. The commander of the Ukrainian armed forces, Oleksandr Syrskyj, ordered that the defenses there be reinforced. He is currently working with the 25th Sicheslav Airborne Brigade on "one of the most important sections of the front".
