Ukraine war: Large fire rages at fuel depot used as Russian logistics base in Bryansk

A large fire has broken out at a Russian fuel depot on the Ukrainian border acting as a logistics base for Vladimir Putin's forces.

Emergency services said the blaze began around 2am Moscow time (11pm GMT) at the Transneft Bryansk-Druzhba facility in Bryansk, owned by the oil pipeline company Transneft.

No injuries have been reported and the cause has not yet been established.

Bryansk is a strategic administrative centre 154 km (96 miles) northeast of the Ukrainian border, and Russian officials said last week that Ukrainian helicopters had hit residential buildings and injured seven people in the area.
