MOSCOW (AA) - An oil storage facility was damaged in Russia's western Bryansk region in a drone strike carried out by Ukraine, the province's governor said on Thursday, adding that there were no casualties.

Bryansk Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said in a statement on Telegram that the concrete base and the tank storing petroleum products were damaged in the drone attack.

"A Ukrainian drone attacked the Klintsovskaya oil depot of JSC (Joint Stock Company) Bryansknefteprodukt. There are no casualties," he said.
