Ukraine's General Staff confirms strike on Russian oil depot in Bryansk region

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has confirmed a strike on an oil depot in Russia's Bryansk region.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.

On the night of December 10-11, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate struck the Bryansk oil depot. This is a loading point for the Druzhba oil pipeline, which plays a critical role in the reception, storage, distribution, and shipment of diesel fuel to tanker trucks and rail transport. It is actively used to supply the Russian army.

Preliminary reports indicate that the oil depot was hit and caught fire. The results of the operation are still being clarified, according to the General Staff.

Earlier reports indicated that drones and missiles struck Russia's Bryansk and Rostov regions during the same night. Bryansk Region Governor Alexander Bogomaz claimed that ten drones were intercepted before causing major damage. However, a drone attack did lead to a fire at a production facility in Bryansk, which was extinguished without casualties.
