In the early hours of 12 November, a Ukrainian Army’s drone reportedly targeted an oil depot in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, sparking a fire that was allegedly quickly extinguished, according to the region’s Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed.
Gladkov claimed the incident occurred within the Stary Oskol district, and that local emergency services responded promptly.
“As a result of the explosion, one of the [fuel] tanks caught fire. Ten firefighting units worked on the scene and quickly extinguished the fire. No one was hurt,” Gladkov stated on his official Telegram channel.
Ukrainian official sources didn’t report an alleged attack on the Belgorod oil depot.

Russian news Telegram channel Astra reported several accidental bomb discharge accidents by Russian aircraft in the region in recent days. On 9 November, a FAB-250 bomb fell close to Ushakovo, a village 35 km from the Ukrainian border. On 11 November, Astra reported that three additional FAB-250 bombs detached from Russian aircraft, with one falling in a forest near Selishko, another in Ziborovka, and a third in a field near Seretino in the Yakovlevsky district, according to Astra.
Astra says it has documented at least 146 instances of FAB bombs accidental discharges in Russia and Russian-occupied territories in 2024. These unexploded bombs, mainly FAB-250 and FAB-500 models, are usually destroyed post-facto by Russian explosives experts. Such incidents often involve guided munitions Russia employs in airstrikes on Ukrainian oblasts like Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia.
