**Fire Erupts at Russian Oil Depot**
A fire broke out at an oil depot in the city of Lyudinovo, Russia’s Kaluga Oblast. The cause of the fire was a Ukrainian drone attack on January 17.
Regional Governor Vladislav Shapsha said that no one was hurt in the attack. However, the full extent of the damage is not yet known.
This is the latest in a series of attacks by Ukraine targeting Russian energy infrastructure. Ukraine has been trying to cut off Russia’s funding source for its war effort.
