An overnight Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at an oil refinery in Sochi, Russia. Footage recorded on Sunday (3 August) shows smoke rising from the depot following the explosion, which Moscow has said was caused after debris from a downed drone struck a fuel tank.

Mayor Andrei Proshunin later announced that “the situation is totally under control” and confirmed that there were no victims.
