During the night, the Ukrainian army once again carried out a successful operation on the territory of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian drones struck an oil depot located in the town of Livny in the Oryol region, resulting in a fire.

The attack was reported by the governor of the region, Andrei Klychkov. "This morning, during another massive attack on the Oryol region, an unmanned aerial vehicle crashed on the grounds of the oil depot in the city of Livny," he stated on social media.

He added that part of the façade of the administrative building was damaged, amongst other things. When the emergency services arrived at the scene, another drone attacked.

Klychkov reported that during the second raid, a fire truck driver was killed, and three facility workers were injured.
