Ukrainian drones strike at the Zenit oil depot in Kotelnich, Kirov region of Russia. The target is located more than 1200 km from the Ukrainian border. This was reported to the Research and Analysis Group InfoLight.UA by its own sources in the Ukrainian intelligence.
According to sources, the attack on the oil depot was carried out by Ukrainian-made kamikaze drones. Local telegram channels report that the attack was carried out using at least five UAVs. As a result of the attack, two tanks at the oil depot caught fire.
“As a result of the operation, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine hit the oil depot of the Zenit State Enterprise near the village of Kotelnych, Kirov region of the Russian Federation,” the source said.
It is worth noting that this is the first time that Ukrainian drones have attacked an enemy facility in the Kirov region of the Russian Federation. The distance of the target from the Ukrainian border is over 1200 kilometers.
Zenit is an object of the enemy’s military-industrial complex and provides fuel to the occupation forces of the Russian Armed Forces.
Russian media also confirmed the attack, noting that it was the first time Kirov region was attacked by drones. According to them, the drones successfully hit tanks on the territory of Rosrezerv’s Zenit plant in Kotelnich, which is more than 1,400 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
Interestingly, earlier today, on August 28, sources reported a successful attack by Ukrainian drones on an oil depot in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation. In particular, the Atlas oil depot near the Kamensk-Shakhtinsky settlement was hit. This operation was also carried out by the joint efforts of the GUR and the SSO with the help of Ukrainian-made strike UAVs.
