Ukrainian drones reportedly targeted oil depots in Russia's Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai overnight on September 24, according to local authorities. Russia's Defense Ministry stated that Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 40 Ukrainian drones over several Russian regions, including Rostov Oblast, Krasnodar Krai, and occupied Crimea, during the same period.

Rostov Oblast Governor Yury Slyusar reported that Russian air defenses intercepted Ukrainian drones over Taganrog and the Kagalnitsky and Neklinovsky districts, claiming that falling drone debris damaged administrative buildings at an oil depot in Kagalnitsky district, but there were no casualties or fires. Additionally, Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ reported that an oil depot in Novotitarovskaya, in neighboring Krasnodar Krai, caught fire following a drone attack.

No injuries were reported, and Ukraine has not commented on the strikes, with the Kyiv Independent unable to independently verify the claims.
