Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Zhutovska oil depot in the Oktyabrsky district of Russia's Volgograd Oblast during the night of 10 January. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced this on social media.
According to the General Staff, the facility is "involved in supplying fuel to units of the occupying forces." Damage from the strike is currently being assessed.
