🔥In Engels, Russia, at the oil depot hit by Ukrainian drones the situation is deteriorating. The fire continues and has reportedly spread to other tanks.

Over the past 24 hours, firefighters have tried to use foam to stop the fire with no success. Now, they are reportedly expecting reinforcements and other equipment to arrive from neighboring regions and will try again. If the attempt is not successful, they are simply planning to let the oil reserves burn out.

The oil refinery stored kerosene fuel used by the Russian Air Force stationed at the airfield nearby. The bombers and fighter jets from Engels are routinely used in Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. Reportedly, the airfield is already experiencing a fuel shortage.
