There were no casualties. The fire initially spread over an area of about 2,000 square meters but doubled hours later to reach 4,000 square meters.
“In total, 99 firefighters and 26 specialized vehicles, including personnel from the local Emergency Situations Ministry, arrived at the scene,” the Telegram channel Operativni Shtab–Krasnodar reported, adding that local authorities prevented a hydrocarbon spill into Temryuk Bay.
In addition to the burning tanks, several buildings and agricultural equipment were damaged in the village of Nikolaevka, in the Shcherbinovsky district.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting and shooting down 141 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones. The bulk of the attacks targeted the border region of Bryansk, where 62 drones were neutralized.
Ukraine also attacked the regions of Tula, Kaluga, Moscow, Volgograd, Voronezh, the Republic of Adygea, and the Crimean Peninsula.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that 10 drones heading toward the Russian capital were shot down, with no damage or casualties reported.
Ukraine carries out daily drone attacks on Russian territory aimed at damaging fuel production and disrupting the logistics of the Russian army.
Russia has responded with massive strikes against Ukraine’s energy system, threatening the collapse of electricity generation capacity and heating supplies in the country as winter approaches.
