Belgorod Lost a Quarter of Its Gas Stations Due to Drone Attacks
In Belgorod, Russia, and the surrounding metropolitan area, drones are carrying out massive attacks on gas stations. In just the last few days, more than a quarter of all gas stations in the area have come under attack.
According to journalists’ estimates, between July 19 and 23, drones attacked 19 out of 71 gas stations in Belgorod and the surrounding metropolitan area.
Thus, the attacks affected 26.7% of all gas stations in the city and its suburbs.
Fires broke out at many of the sites, and equipment and refueling infrastructure were damaged.
This was reported by the local publication “Pepel.Belgorod.”
As a reminder, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reports that Russia’s civil aviation has reached a critical level of degradation.
The European Union has approved the 21st package of sanctions against Russia in response to its aggression against Ukraine. The new restrictions target the financial sector, the energy sector, the military-industrial complex, the shadow fleet, and schemes to circumvent sanctions.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called for tougher sanctions following Russia’s attack on a tanker near Romania.
