Russia’s supply base in occupied Luhansk Oblast burned overnight—NASA’s fire map caught it

On October 12, 2026, Ukrainian strikes targeted a facility housing Russian troops in Khrustalnyi, a city within the Russian-occupied Luhansk Oblast. According to local reports, satellite fire data from NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) captured active blazes at a former motor depot and an industrial zone in the area.

This site had previously served as a crucial logistics hub for Russia's 2nd Army Corps during its offensive operations in the Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk regions. The strikes on occupied Luhansk Oblast represent a persistent threat to the supply chain supporting Russia's ongoing military campaign in the region.
