The Rosrezerv oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov Oblast, burned for 16 days. This is what it looks like on a satellite image after the fire was finally extinguished

The fire damaged more than 30 tanks (each holding 500 cubic meters of fuel). The quality of the photo, taken at 11:22 a.m. local time on Monday, does not allow for a more accurate assessment of the damage. According to local authorities, 49 firefighters were injured during the firefighting effort. @radiosvoboda

That group in the top left, if it has in any oil in it, looks like it needs another drone boop!

But, seriously, I doubt that place is going to be back in operation any time soon. And it probably will receive another drone if/when Russia attempts to get it operational again.

Was it really extinguished, or did it just burn through all the fuel?
