Video is available showing the aftermath of the Ukrainian attack on the fuel #depot in #Zhecha, #Bryansk province, #Russia. From what can be seen, it is not clear that the damage to the facility was enough to affect its operation. 2/
The fuel #depot in #Zhecha, #Bryansk oblast, Russia that was hit by the Ukrainian fighter jet has been geolocated (52.72035, 32.74870). It is 29 miles (46 km) from the #Ukraine-#Russia border. 3/ ImageImage
The fuel #depot hit today in #Zhecha has a rail connection. This also was the case with both depots that caught #fire last week closer to #Bryansk city (see thread below). Rail-connected depots are more likely to be used to supply #Russia's military. 4/
