According to him, air defense shot down 11 drones. Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry says that only five UAVs were destroyed over Oryol Oblast.

Klychkov later stated that the fire at the damaged facility had allegedly been contained, and emergency services were working to fully eliminate the consequences. There were allegedly no casualties in the city from the attack.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the fire at the oil depot in Oryol was the result of the actions of the Special Operations Forces in cooperation with other units of the Defense Forces. The linear production control station "Steel Horse" was damaged.

It is reportedly one of the largest oil product terminals in the suburbs of Oryol. The "Steel Horse" itself is part of the Russian military-industrial complex, which ensures the supply of oil products to the Russian army.
