Russian authorities were struggling to put out a massive fire in the southern Rostov region for a third consecutive day after an oil depot was hit by Ukrainian drones.
Videos shared on social media showed flames and massive plumes of smoke rising into the sky in the town of Proletarsk. The fire at the facility was burning across an area of 10,000 square meters.
About 500 firefighters, as well as four planes, were tackling the fire, according to state-owned agency Tass, which cited the governor and local officials. Tass also reported that at least 41 firefighters were taken to hospital.
