On the morning of March 6, following a Ukrainian drone attack on the Gubginskaya oil depot in the village of Dolgoye in the Belgorod region of Russia on March 5, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in the Zheleznogorsk region of the Kursk region.
The depot is located in the Mikhailovsky Varichev Mining and Processing Plant in Zheleznogorsk, Kursk Oblast, Russia.
This mining site is one of the largest iron ore mining and processing companies in Russia and the CIS, with a complete production line and oil depot resources.
On the morning of March 6, the plant suffered its first drone attack, which caused the oil depot to catch fire.
Russia's Channel 112 reported at around 10:10 that another drone had hit the factory again.
The governor of Russia's Kursk region, Roman Starovoit, confirmed the news, saying that there were no personnel **.
Later on the 6th, Putin made a televised speech, claiming that only if NATO did it behind the scenes**, Ukraine would have the ability to carry out such a large-scale attack.
The attack on Mikhailovsky, Kursk Oblast, Russia, was a special operation in Ukraine, the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that the attack on Mikhailovsky in the Kursk Oblast of Russia was a special operation in Ukraine, stressing that the Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is taking measures to dismantle facilities that supply Russian troops.
It is not difficult to see from the recent behavior of the Ukrainian army that Ukraine's strategic focus in 2024 is to adopt a defensive posture on the front line of the war, and affect Russia's energy economy and slow down Russia's investment in the war by constantly attacking Russia's domestic oil refineries, oil depots, natural gas plants, defense factories, etc. Wait for the potential of Russia's combat power to decline to a certain extent.
