Major Fire Reported at Oil Terminal Linked to Russia's Novoshakhtinsk Refinery After Suspected Drone Strike
Footage showed heavy smoke and flames as Russian authorities said more than 100 drones were downed in the region overnight.
- A major fire erupted at the Yug Rusi oil-loading terminal in Rostov-on-Don overnight following a suspected drone strike, with Governor Yury Slyusar confirming an enemy air attack and emergency services responding to the scene.
- According to the International Energy Agency, Russian refinery output fell to a 30-year low in June due to strikes, with the IEA attributing increased attacks to a "dramatic expansion of Ukraine's technological and military capabilities."
- President Trump announced on Friday that Russia will supply over 300,000 Tons of diesel fuel immediately, 500,000 Tons in November, and 1,000,000 Tons thereafter, following what he called a "highly successful discussion" with President Vladimir Putin.
- Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky criticized the deal, stating Moscow would use revenue to fund "further terror," while European Union foreign affairs head Kaja Kallas argued it provides Russia resources to wage war.
- Beyond the terminal fire, authorities reported damage to residential buildings in Rostov and Bataysk, with a railway bridge in the Rostov Region also sustaining damage and one person injured during the overnight attack.
