A Russian oil depot went up in flames overnight amid claims of cross-border attacks by Ukrainian forces.
The large fire sent huge plumes of smoke into the air over the city of Bryansk, which lies less than 100 miles from the border.
Speculation is mounting that Ukrainian forces could be mounting a covert campaign targeting infrastructure crucial to fuelling the war effort. Separately, the governor of the Kursk region, a Russian area which borders Ukraine, said air defence systems had taken out two drones. Kremlin forces are attempting to take the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in full, as well as at least some of Ukraine’s southern coastline.Despite heavy fighting in recent days, Russia has not achieved any major breakthroughs on the ground, according to an international monitoring group.
