It is still unclear who was behind the oil depot bombing. Videos of the attack have gone viral on social media, showing the helicopter flying in the air. The governor of Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev, said that more than 100 firefighters and 30 units of equipment were working at the site to extinguish the fire.

Some reports have suggested that it was carried out by Wagner Group fighters, a Russian private military contractor. Wagner Group has been involved in a number of conflicts in recent years, including the Syrian civil war and the conflict in Ukraine.

The attack on the oil depot comes at a time of heightened tensions between Russia and the West. The United States and its allies have imposed a number of sanctions on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
