Russia says there was an attempt to hit the oil depot but UAV debris hit a truck of lubricant. I don’t believe them.
This smoking epidemic is really getting out of hand.
Slava Ukraini!
looks like a lot of lubricant, too
I can translate it. The residency of pizdéc is in flames.

you can see the silos on the video
Locals have been told via the media ‘not to panic.’ All is well, apparently.
Such pretty colors to light up the dark skies.
There is no panic in Kardymovo
I wonder why this minor oil depot in particular was hit?
What I see on Google’s satellite imagery is just a dozen oil tanks at the end of a rail line, and Kardymovo itself doesn’t look to be a significant place. It’s a small town about 300 km from the Ukrainian border, 25 km from Smolensk, and 15 km or so off the most direct major road from Moscow to Minsk. It is on a major rail line and there are a couple of large buildings that look industrial, but I don’t see anything that looks like a major military target in the area.
Street View suggests that Kardymovo is just another of those towns in the western Russian countryside where nothing much has happened or improved during Putin’s reign, and it looks like a pretty boring place. I wonder if the oil depot going up in flames wasn’t because of anything Ukraine did, but rather due to some of the locals getting fed up with small town tedium and deciding to create a bit of excitement, and then local officials blaming the Ukrainians.
