The night sky was lit up once again as Ukraine launched a daring attack on Russia's oil depots. In the border town of Azov, explosions rocked the area, signaling the start of the assault. Drones were used to strike multiple oil storage tanks, causing 5,000 cubic meters of oil to catch fire. The footage captured from the scene showed the raging flames engulfing the facility, located on the estuary of the Don River. The town, which is only 10 miles away from the Azov Sea, was now shrouded in plumes of black smoke.
As the news of the attack spread, firefighters rushed to the site to contain the fire. Their heroic efforts were captured on video, as they worked tirelessly to put out the flames. According to Vasily Golubev, the governor of the Rostov region, there were no reports of casualties as of yet. However, the situation was still tense as another oil depot in the Temryuksky District, in Krasnodar, was also targeted in the early hours of the morning.
Despite these attacks, there has been no official information from the authorities or the Russian Ministry of Defense. This comes as a surprise, especially since Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently in Yakutia, the coldest region in Russia. He is expected to make a state visit to North Korea, at the invitation of Kim Jong-un. The preparations for his arrival are in full swing in Pyongyang, with portraits of the Kremlin dictator proudly displayed on the streets along with Russian flags and the words "Welcome Putin".
This visit is a result of the increasing diplomatic and economic exchanges between Russia and North Korea in recent months. In fact, this is the first visit by a Russian president in 24 years, highlighting the significance of this event. Since July 2023, the two nations have exchanged dozens of government, parliamentary, and other delegations, with 18 visits taking place this year alone. This marks the highest number of visits between the two countries, as confirmed by Seoul's Unification Ministry, which handles inter-Korean affairs.
