Using drones, Ukraine this week hit a Russian region hundreds of miles from the border for the first time.
The drone strike targeted the Zenit oil depot in Russia's Kirov region on Wednesday, reported The Kyiv Independent, an online Ukrainian newspaper. Russia shot down two of the drones, while three others fell and started a fire in a nearby town.
There were no injuries reported, but the strike caused fires at two oil depots, according to the report.
The strike marks the first time Ukraine has attacked the Kirov region, which is more than 700 miles from the Russia-Ukraine border, since the war began more than two years ago, the newspaper said.
Kirov Governor Alexander Sokolov said there was no damage or disruption to operations after the strike, reported The Moscow Times, an online newspaper.
