#Russia: Early today, 2 oil storage depots (Civil & Military) were hit by explosions & subsequent large fires in #Bryansk. Some fires continue 12+ hours later.
Whilst officially unconfirmed, info we have reliably received states that they were caused by UA TB-2 drone strikes.

According to this account, both sites (One of which is related to a local Russian Military base, another is civilian but larger) were struck successfully by munitions fired by the TB-2. This is, of course, quite a notable blow ~100km deep into Russia.
Whilst all of this remains unconfirmed from any side (TB-2 usage has been under quite an embargo recently) it is bolstered by the fact that Ru sources show a TB-2 downed over #Kursk Oblast this AM.
Our UA sources claim it was taken down after the strike, on the way back to base.

If accurate, then this story again shows the ability of Ukrainian forces to conduct strikes in Russian territory using long-range assets. However, they can come at a cost.
Perhaps the loss of a TB-2, easily replacable, is worth the destruction of critical Russian infrastructure.
