On the morning of June 28, a drone allegedly attacked an oil depot in the Michurinsky district of Tambov region of the Russian Federation. The Russians claimed that it was "Ukrainian" and exploded on the territory of the enterprise, creating a "small" fire.
However, they later posted a video on their public pages with footage of a drone flying over the region and the sounds of shooting at it. They also showed the consequences of the damage to the oil depot, which turned out to be in the village of Novomyilske.
According to the propagandists, the explosion occurred at about 04:35 on Friday.
"A fire broke out at the scene. Emergency services are currently working," they wrote.
The governor of the Tambov region, Maxim Yegorov, confirmed this fact, assuring that "there were no casualties."

The propagandists claimed the fire was small, but the official said in his speech that it was being extinguished by the oil depot fire department and 11 fire brigades of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. They have allegedly localized the fire.
He added that the distance from the oil depot to the nearest settlement is 3 km, so if necessary, residents will be evacuated.
