Quote: "As part of efforts to reduce the offensive capabilities of the Russian aggressor, units from Ukraine's defence forces struck the Oskolneftesnab oil depot near the settlement of Kotel in Russia's Belgorod Oblast on the night of 6-7 January. The oil depot is involved in supplying fuel to the occupying army."

Details: The General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces had struck fuel storage tanks, causing a large-scale fire at the facility.

A warehouse belonging to Russia's 20th Motor Rifle Division in temporarily occupied Donetsk Oblast was struck to disrupt their logistics, the military said.

The extent of the damage in both cases is being confirmed.

Furthermore, following earlier strikes, two vertical RVS-5000 storage tanks were confirmed damaged at the Temp strategic reserve oil depot in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia.

"The defence forces continue to take measures to undermine the offensive and military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers and to force Russia to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine," the General Staff said.
