Ukrainian drones struck the Ust-Labinsk oil depot in Krasnodar Krai overnight on June 6, setting storage tanks ablaze and sparking a large fire. Ukraine's General Staff and Ust-Labinsk emergency services confirmed the blaze at the facility, which contains 28 storage tanks with roughly 14,950 cubic meters of fuel, and said there were no immediate casualties. The strike was part of a large-scale Ukrainian drone operation that Kyiv says also hit Kronstadt naval facilities about 1,000 kilometers inside Russia and other oil terminals. Damage to Ust-Labinsk matters because the depot supplies fuel to Russia's Kuban region and the Republic of Adygea, so the attack could disrupt regional military and civilian fuel logistics and signals growing Ukrainian long-range strike capability.
