These facilities stored 26,000 cubic metres of Russian fuel and lubricants. After the explosions at the sites, a massive fire broke out, leading to the evacuation of personnel. 

It is known that Ukrainian special services have repeatedly emphasised that similar facilities, which supply the Russian defence industry, are legitimate targets for Ukraine, which is resisting Russia in a bloody war.

Background: Russian media reported that fires occurred in Smolensk Oblast (Russia) due to a UAV attack on "fuel and energy facilities in the Smolensk and Yartsevsky districts" of Smolensk Oblast on the night of 23-24 April.
