Moment massive inferno engulfs ANOTHER Russian oil depot as Ukraine strikes ‘airfield, ship & refinery’ in blow to Putin
THIS is the moment a Russian oil depot exploded in a huge fireball after Ukrainian strike in yet another humiliating blow to Putin.
Plumes of black smoke could be seen rising in the sky from Vyborg after Ukraine pounded the oil refinery near the Nato border with Finland.
Footage shows the oil depot engulfed in a raging inferno as the Leningrad regional governor Alexander Drozdenko denied a Ukrainian kamikaze drone had hit the facility.
He also denied there was a fire but admitted “there was a bang due to the use of pyrotechnics”.
It is not immediately clear if it was a sabotage or a drone strike that blitzed the facility.
But it came as another blow to Putin as Ukraine has been targeting oil refineries in a bid to damage the despot's economy and disrupt the war machine.
The warmonger has faced even more humiliation after Ukrainian forces have hit almost two dozen oil depots in the past four months.
