The Russian emergency ministry released video showing firefighters tackling a blaze at an oil depot in the Rostov region, close to the border with Ukraine. The regional governor, Vasily Golubev, posted to his Telegram account to say the fire was a result of a drone attack and no casualties had been reported. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
