On Thursday (22 August), a Ukrainian drone attack ignited a fire at a military facility in southern Russia, as Kyiv continues to push its offensive in the Kursk region. The governor of the Volgograd region reported that a “defense ministry facility” in the Marinovka area was set ablaze, though the extent of the damage was not detailed. This attack is part of a broader Ukrainian strategy targeting key infrastructure, including bridges, airfields, and oil depots, as well as gaining ground and taking prisoners in the Kursk region.
In a related incident, a fire continued to burn on Thursday (22 August) in Russia’s Rostov region. Firefighters have been battling the blaze at an oil depot in the town of Proletarsk for five days. The fire was caused by a Ukrainian drone attack on Sunday (18 August), underscoring the ongoing intensity of the conflict.
