According to local reports and OSINT sources, the facilities affected include the Pavlovskaya oil depot and the Edelweiss-95 fuel depot in Novotitarovskaya. Fires broke out at both sites following the attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Pavlovskaya depot, the fire reportedly started during the early hours of the morning. Local authorities confirmed a fire at an industrial facility and said there were no casualties. Emergency services were deployed to contain the blaze, while nearby roads were temporarily closed. The exact extent of the damage to the facility has not been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fire was reported at the Edelweiss-95 fuel depot in Novotitarovskaya. OSINT analysts identified the site using footage posted online. The facility is involved in the storage and wholesale distribution of gasoline and diesel fuel. Its storage capacity has been estimated at several thousand cubic meters, although it remains unclear how many tanks or how much fuel were actually damaged in the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strikes come as Russia is already facing growing problems with gasoline supplies. A series of attacks on oil refineries in recent weeks, combined with maintenance shutdowns and high domestic demand, has reduced available refining capacity. Russian regions have reported fuel shortages, while long queues at gas stations have become increasingly common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest attacks on fuel depots could put additional pressure on regional supplies, particularly if damaged facilities remain out of operation. With several Russian refineries already affected by previous attacks, further disruptions to fuel storage and distribution could make gasoline shortages more difficult to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the exact amount of fuel lost in the September 28 attacks and the duration of any disruption at the affected depots remain unclear. Further information on the extent of the damage is expected to emerge as Russian authorities and independent OSINT analysts assess the sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drones attacked fuel infrastructure in Russia\u2019s Krasnodar region overnight on September 28, with fires reported at at least two oil depots.
