Fire breaks out at the Temp oil depot

A major fire erupted at the Temp oil storage facility in the city of Rybinsk, which is part of Russia’s state reserve system and is used to store large volumes of fuel.

The blaze broke out after SBU drones struck the site, triggering a large-scale fire.

"The SBU is continuing to precisely cut Russia’s fuel supply chains — both for exports and for the troops attacking Ukraine. This systematic work will continue in 2026 as well," a source said.

Background

Rybinsk is a major transit and logistics hub, and the Temp oil depot is a key facility for storing and distributing petroleum products in Russia’s northeastern region.
