Ukraine-launched drones hit two oil depots in Russia's western Smolensk region early Wednesday, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported, citing its source, said Xinhua.

The energy facilities in the town of Yartsevo and the village of Razdorovo contained about 26,000 cubic meters of fuel and caught fire following the attack, the report said.

Both depots are owned by Russia's largest oil producer Rosneft, the source said.

The Security Service of Ukraine, which launched the drones, will continue its attacks on Russia's facilities that provide fuel to the Russian army in Ukraine, according to the report.
