Russian forces struck the Triton oil depot in Odesa region with Geran drones, destroying fuel tanks, transfer infrastructure, and damaging the Excellion tanker.

Russian forces have carried out a strike on the Triton oil depot in Ukraine’s Odesa region, one of the largest fuel storage facilities in the south of the country.

The attack, conducted with Geran drones, triggered a series of explosions — around 30 in total, according to preliminary reports. A statement noted that a large fire broke out at the depot, located within the Oil Transshipment Complex, a key hub for receiving, storing, and shipping petroleum products.

Two of the six diesel storage tanks, each with a capacity of about 5,000 cubic meters, were destroyed in the strike. Infrastructure used for fuel transfer, including a high-pressure pumping station, was also completely demolished. In addition, the Excellion tanker, which was docked at the facility carrying petroleum products, sustained damage.

Reports indicated that the fuel stored at Triton was intended to supply Ukrainian armored units operating in the Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolaiv regions.

The strike followed an earlier announcement from Russia’s Defense Ministry, which stated that its forces had targeted an oil refinery supplying Ukrainian troops in Donbas.
