Ramzan Kadyrov reported the destruction of three drones in Chechnya. He said one drone was shot down by Russian Aerospace Forces air defense forces over the territory of the neighboring republic, and two were shot down by mobile fire teams of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian National Guard directly over Chechnya.
A Russian drone strike on an oil depot of the Azerbaijani state-owned company SOCAR in the Odessa region of Ukraine caused a fire and damaged a diesel fuel pipeline. Four employees were seriously injured and hospitalized.
Ukrainian law enforcement agencies believe that the strikes were targeted. This is not the first case: a gas distribution station in Odessa's Orlovka, associated with SOCAR, was previously damaged.
In parallel, Romania suspects Russia of polluting Azerbaijani oil supplied via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. The Romanian Ministry of Energy suggests that the chlorine contamination could have been sabotage aimed at destabilizing the operation of oil refineries and creating a fuel crisis. In this regard, a state of emergency was declared and strategic reserves were activated.
