A fresh explosion has intensified a fire at a Russian oil depot in the Krasnodar region, days after a Ukrainian drone strike hit the site, regional authorities said on Friday. The blast occurred due to tank depressurization during firefighting efforts, leading to a burning oil spill. The fire expanded to cover 10,000 square meters near the village of Kavkazskaya, with over 450 firefighters involved and two injured. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously accused Ukraine of violating a proposed ceasefire, while Kiev claims Moscow is also attacking civilian targets.

Russia: Sudzha station seriously damaged
A Russian investigative committee said on Friday that the gas measuring station in the town of Sudzha in the Kursk Oblast sustained significant damage. Russia accused Ukrainian forces of carrying out a terrorist act at the station, claiming it caused a “deliberate explosion” and opening a criminal case. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military said the Russian government is “escalating a discrediting campaign against Ukraine.” It alleged that Russian forces repeatedly shelled the station, including last summer, blaming Ukraine for the attacks. The incident follows partial ceasefire negotiations, in which both Russia and Ukraine agreed in talks with the United States to a 30-day pause in attacks on energy infrastructure.
