According to the authorities, an oil depot near the airport caught fire in a Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian metropolis of Sochi on the Black Sea.

Ministry reports shooting more than 90 drones

The goals of the drone attacks are military logistics in the Russian hinterland, including fuel bearings, ammunition deposits and traffic routes.
