A Ukrainian drone strike ignited a fire at an oil depot in Sochi, Russia, on the night of August 2-3, 2025. The regional governor reported that over 120 firefighters were deployed to battle the blaze, which was eventually extinguished by Russian emergency services. The attack involved Ukrainian Lyutyi long-range OWA-UAVs targeting the fuel depot in the southern Russian city. This incident is part of ongoing hostilities, with Ukraine also recently attacking the Novokuybyshevsky oil refinery in Russia's Samara region. Concurrently, Russia launched missile strikes on Mykolaiv, Ukraine, injuring seven people. Additionally, Russian Shahed/Geran-type long-range OWA-UAVs targeted the Ukrainian port of Odesa later that night. The Sochi oil depot fire followed a pattern of escalating drone and missile attacks between the two countries.
