SOCAR oil depot hit in Russian drone strike

Russia has struck an oil depot belonging to SOCAR in Ukraine’s Odesa region.

1news.media informs that the information was reported by sources to "RKB".

Reportedly, Russia launched five Shahed drones targeting the depot. The attack caused a fire and damaged a diesel pipeline. Four SOCAR employees were injured — all in serious condition and hospitalized. The fire was quickly contained, and restoration work is underway.

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies stated that the strikes were targeted.

It’s worth noting that this is the second recent attack on a SOCAR-related facility. Previously, a gas distribution station near Orlovka, designated to transmit Azerbaijani gas, was damaged.
