Unknown drones attacked an oil depot in the Russian Federation on the evening of January 17. This time, the incident occurred in the Kaluga region.

This information was reported by RBK-Ukraine referencing Russian Telegram channels.

It is reported that a drone attempted to strike an industrial facility in the city of Lyudinovo. According to eyewitnesses, debris fell onto the factory grounds, and a fire is currently being extinguished there.

According to the SHOT public channel, several explosions were heard over the city around 21:00 (Kyiv time), after which a fire broke out near the local oil depot.

As stated by the governor of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, there is a fire on the premises of the industrial enterprise as a result of the UAV attack.

"An operational group is working on-site, along with rescue service personnel. Preliminary information indicates there are no casualties," he added.

It is worth noting that Lyudinovo is located nearly 180 km from the border with Ukraine.

Lyudinovo hosts several factories, including an assembly, foundry, and locomotive manufacturing plant. Last year, in April and May, drones attacked the "Kaluganefteprodukt" oil depot there. Sources from RBK-Ukraine reported that these were operations by the GUR.

Recall that on the night of January 14, a massive drone strike targeted facilities across multiple regions of the Russian Federation. Explosions were reported in Bryansk, Saratov, Tula regions, and in Kazan.

Later, it was revealed that Ukraine delivered the most significant strike against the Russian Federation since the beginning of the full-scale war. Several factories, air defense bases, ammunition depots, and other facilities were hit as a result.
