In Usinsk, in the Komi Republic, there was an emergency at the Lukoil oil depot. One of the huge tanks there caught fire. According to preliminary information, not because of the arrival of a drone or a missile. Surveillance footage was shown by Telegram channel "Ukraine 365", writes dialog.ua.

The video shows how the massive tank is sharply lifted up, and then a powerful column of fire bursts out of it. Within seconds, the area was covered in ash and the camera lens was covered in smoke.
