Ukraine's Oil Depot Fire Linked to Preparation for Counter-Offensive Against Russia.

A Ukrainian military spokesperson said that undermining Russia's logistics is part of the preparation for the expected Ukrainian counter-offensive, after a fire destroyed a large Russian fuel depot in Crimea. While not directly admitting to striking the fuel storage facility, Ukraine's military command said that "a fire" destroyed 10 oil tanks with a capacity of about 40,000 tonnes. On Monday, air defence systems were repelling missile attacks in the early hours in the Kyiv region, local authorities said, after air raid alerts were issued throughout all of Ukraine by emergency services.
