00:00 An oil depot in the Russian region of Kursk, on the border with Ukraine, was on fire Wednesday
00:05 following a Ukrainian drone attack, a type of operation that has become more and more
00:09 frequent after two years of war.
00:10 On the other hand, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have destroyed 48 of the 42 explosive
00:15 drones launched by Russia on a Russian-made attack on at least seven injured regions
00:20 in Ukraine.
00:21 The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, Rafael Grossi, must
00:27 have met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Sochi, in southern Russia, for the first
00:32 time since October 2022.
00:34 For several months, part of Kiev's military strategy has been to attack the lines
00:39 behind its adversary, far from the front, a way to disrupt the logistics of the Russian
00:44 army that supplies its troops with ammunition and fuel via the frontier regions.
00:47 A Ukrainian drone attack in the district of Jeleznogorski has caused a fire today
00:53 in a fuel and lubricant depot, said the Russian-speaking governor of Kursk, Roman Starovoyt,
00:57 on Telegram on Wednesday.
01:00 "A fuel tank is on fire, there are no victims," he added.
01:05 Videos posted on social media show at least one damaged tank from which imposing flames
01:10 and black smoke are spilling.
01:11 A few minutes later, Mr. Starovoyt claimed that a second Ukrainian drone hit the oil
01:17 depot, ensuring that the attack had not yet been a victim and that the anti-aircraft
01:22 forces were working.
01:23 According to the Rustas agency, the depot belongs to the mining group Varichev, which is part
01:28 of the steel and metal company Invest, founded by the oligarch Alisher Usmanov.
01:33 The Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment on this attack, as usual, but claimed to have
01:39 destroyed three Ukrainian drones on Tuesday night, two above the Voronezh region and
01:44 another above the Belgorod region, both on the Ukrainian front.
01:48 These attacks have not been victims, according to this source.
01:51 Since the beginning of the Russian assault on Ukraine in February 2022, the Russian territory
01:57 has been regularly hit by imputed strikes in Kiev, which have been targeting oil depots
02:03 and refineries in particular in recent weeks.

02:05 On the other hand, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed on Wednesday to have destroyed 38
02:11 drones out of 42 launched by Russia during a night attack on a dozen regions of Ukraine,
02:15 which caused at least seven injuries.
02:18 The occupation forces attacked with five guided missiles S-300 and 42+ Shahed +, the Air Force
02:24 said, referring to the Iranian-made explosive drones used by Moscow.
02:28 38+ Shahed + were destroyed by the Air Defense, the Air Force said, which did not
02:35 mention the destruction of missiles.
02:37 A strike hit the city of Sumy, northeast, where seven people were injured, including
02:43 a 10-year-old boy, according to the Attorney General's Office.
02:46 This attack comes the day after the destruction claimed by Ukraine by a Russian warship
02:51 near the Crimean Peninsula, annexed by Moscow in 2014.
02:55 Russian forces, which have been grinding the ground in Donbass in recent weeks, are
03:01 daily targeting regions and cities in Ukraine away from the front during attacks with
03:05 guided missiles and explosive drones.
03:06 At the same time, the director of the IAEA Rafael Grossi is in the Balnear station in
03:11 Sochi in Russia to talk with Vladimir Putin and Alexei Lykatchev, the head of the Russian
03:17 nuclear agency Rosatom.
03:18 The Russian president had launched a real nuclear war threat at the end of February
03:22 in case of escalation of the conflict in Ukraine.
03:24 In addition, the Kremlin said on Wednesday not to recognize the arrest warrants issued
03:29 by the International Criminal Court, CPI, against two Russian high-ranking officials accused
03:33 of war crimes linked to bombings in Ukraine at the end of 2022 and early 2023.
