Drone attack sparks fire at oil depot in Russia's Sochi

An oil depot in the Russian city of Sochi is burning following a drone attack, according to Russian authorities. The incident marks another escalation in the ongoing conflict, with Ukraine having recently warned of increased drone activity inside Russia. The fire at the oil depot in the Black Sea resort city was reported by Russian officials, who attributed the attack to Ukrainian forces. This comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on Tuesday that Ukraine would increase drone operations inside Russia, potentially making the airspace unsafe for civilian flights. The attack is part of a broader pattern of Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure targets. Russia has previously accused Ukraine of "state terrorism" over such attacks, while Ukraine maintains it is targeting military and logistical infrastructure in response to Russia's ongoing invasion, which began on February 24, 2022.
