Details: The source noted that three explosive devices were used to hit vertical fuel tanks at the facility, used by the Russians for military purposes. They were destroyed in the DIU operation.

At around 02:50, residents of Vyborg reported a strong explosion on social media, followed by a fire at the oil depot.

Quote from DIU: "The decarbonisation of Putin's dictatorship will continue, consistently and methodically, for as long as Russia uses the oil and gas industry for military purposes or until it pulls [its forces] out of Ukraine. The cost of Russian aggression for the Kremlin will continue to rise and is already affecting their ability to supply fuel even to the domestic market. To be continued."
