Videos from the industrial city of Kursk show a large flash of fire in the airport area. According to media reports, an oil reservoir caught fire. The airport has been used exclusively for military purposes since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against the neighboring country at the end of February. It is closed to civilian flights. In addition, the Internet portal Baza reports on a drone attack on the “Slava” combine in the Bryansk region, about 80 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. The Russian authorities have declared the activities of the combine a state secret because it has ties to national security. According to reports, the targets were apparently also fuel reservoirs. However, they were said to be empty, which is why the attack did not cause a major fire.
