Quote: “The fire at the oil depot in Prokhorovka has been completely extinguished. There were no casualties. Some storage tanks were damaged as a result of the attack.”

Details: Gladkov did not explicitly link the fire to the drone attack and gave no information about the scale of the damage.

He noted that, in addition to equipment from the Emergency Ministry, firefighting trains were also deployed.

Russia’s Defence Ministry claimed that Russian air defence intercepted and destroyed 31 Ukrainian drones over several regions. Seven were reportedly downed over Belgorod Oblast, three over Kursk Oblast, two over Krasnodar Krai, and one each over Tambov Oblast and Voronezh Oblast. In addition, 15 drones were supposedly destroyed over the Black Sea and two over occupied Crimea.
