[Vesti] In Rovenky in the Lugansk region, an oil depot is on fire after shelling. The relevant information is dispersed in Luhansk public with different assessments - from sabotage to shelling by Ukrainian MLRS. In turn, the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirm the information about the fire at the oil depot.

"The city has been occupied since 2014. Deep rear. There is information about a burning oil depot and a destroyed repair plant," the Ukrainian defenders noted.

Russian mass media claim that the Ukrainian military allegedly used the HIMARS MLRS transferred by America from the Bakhmut direction. True, there are no photos or videos of the fire at the oil depot on the Web. The distance from the Bakhmut direction to Rovenky is 130 km.

And in the unrecognized "DPR" they report that in Yasinovataya, as a result of alleged Ukrainian shelling, a civilian was killed, four more were injured. According to the "head of the city administration" Dmitry Shevchenko, three women (born in 1961, 1975 and 1980), as well as a man (born in 1963), were wounded, and "one man died."

#1  Graphic circa 1931 unrelated trivia. Tank farm fire somewhere in the oil patch. Probably a lightning strike. Civil war cannon fired a 3 inch, lead filled plug to puncture tank battery wall. Crude oil could then drain into holding pond where it was pumped out and recovered.
