Details: The department noted that as a result of the strike on January 8, large-scale fires broke out at a fuel and lubricant storage facility, which reportedly took several days to extinguish.

According to available information, a second strike occurred on the oil depot on the night of January 14, which again caused a fire and inflicted additional damage to the facility's infrastructure.

Analysis of images from January 21, 2025, shows that four tanks containing fuel and lubricants were destroyed, with another 10 sustaining damage.
