Ukrainian Drones Hit Russian Oil Depot in Polevaya, Kursk — Three Tanks Burning
Video Summary
A recent strike targeted the oil depot in K Russia, the latest in a series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure. The attacked oil tanks are reportedly burning, with Russia confirming the damage. The depot, located next to a railroad line, is one of many smaller facilities that have been targeted by Ukraine in recent weeks. These smaller depots are chosen because they are considered “soft” targets, not heavily defended and easily accessible, making them vulnerable to attack. The purpose of these attacks is to reduce Russia’s oil capabilities and infrastructure. The strike was carried out in the town of PVO Ars, which was also targeted in February, setting two tanks ablaze. This latest attack adds to the destruction of Russian oil infrastructure, with Ukraine’s ability to hit targets at a range of up to 1,800 kilometers. The question remains, how many more facilities need to be destroyed before Russia reconsiders its invasion of Ukraine.
