On the night of 4 September, an oil depot belonging to Rosneft-Kubannefteprodukt caught fire in Russia’s Sochi. Explosions were also heard in the area where an air defence battalion is based.

Astra reports.

According to the outlet, the oil depot in the Adler district caught fire after a suspected drone attack. Sochi Mayor Andrey Proshunin also confirmed the fire at the oil depot. There were no casualties, he added.

Explosions were also heard near the location of an air defence battalion outside Sochi. A fire that broke out later has also been reported. It is likely that something caught fire near the settlement of Sirius on the border with Abkhazia, close to the Psou River. Russia’s S-300 or S-400 surface-to-air missile system is based there.
