Five explosions & massive inferno rip through Russian oil depot in Ukrainian drone attack in latest blow to Putin

UKRAINIAN kamikaze drones blitzed another of Putin’s valuable oil depots in an impressive attack overnight.

Dramatic clips show an enormous wall of fire raging at a valuable fuel plant in Smolensk, near the Ukrainian border.

More clips captured the huge outpouring of black smoke at the fuel hubs

More fuel and energy hubs nearby were hit in the bold ambush as locals reported hearing five huge explosions.

Huge plumes of black smoke filled the sky as flames completely engulfed the targeted buildings.

Lipetsk Tractor Plant was also attacked – a factory that produces key parts for military vehicles used in Putin’s illegal war.

The local governor in Smolensk was forced to admit to a Ukrainian drone attack on the Rosneft oil depot.

But the Russian immediately went on the defensive – claiming most of Ukraine’s drones were downed.

Putin’s crony in Lipetsk – another region hit in last night’s attack – said one of Kyiv’s drones struck an industrial zone.

While he claimed no one suffered any injuries, he did confirm that people were evacuated from the area.

Ukrainian official Anton Gerashchenko shared footage of the string of attacks and said Kyiv managed to hit a fuel and several energy facilities in Smolensk and elsewhere.
