Quote: "The enemy continues to attack the network of petrol station complexes in Zhytomyr Oblast. This time, a petrol station on the M06 road in the suburbs of the city of Zviahel was hit."

Details: Emergency services are working at the site to contain the fire and ensure safe vehicular traffic, the head of the Oblast Military Administration said.

Later, he wrote on Telegram: "Already the second petrol station complex in the Zviahel district of Zhytomyr Oblast has come under enemy attack this morning."

Quote: "According to operational information, this time a petrol station belonging to the WOG network sustained damage. At present, no information regarding casualties or injuries has been received."

The work of emergency services is being complicated due to the threat of repeat attacks, he noted.

As of 12:45, the aftermath of the Russian attack had been dealt with. Traffic on the M06 road in the suburbs of the city of Zviahel has been restored.

"I thank all the services that promptly joined in dealing with the consequences and ensuring road safety, as well as for their swift and coordinated work," Bunechko wrote.

Background:

• Russian attacks on petrol stations will not cause a general fuel shortage in Ukraine, though attacks on supply infrastructure may lead to local disruptions, reported Serhii Kuiun, director of the A-95 consulting group.
• In Kyiv Oblast, petrol stations will receive access to an aerial threat awareness system used by the military.
