This is according to a report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, seen by Ukrinform.

“Last night, a strike was conducted on a fuel and lubricants storage facility near the town of Rovenky on the temporarily occupied territory in Luhansk region. This base stored oil and petroleum products, which were supplied, among other uses, for the needs of the Russian army,” the General Staff noted.
