Ukraine launched a drone strike on Sunday targeting an oil depot near the Russian city of Sochi.

The first significant attack on the Black Sea resort city in years resulted in two oil tanks catching fire.

Local authorities in the Kras-no-dar region confirmed that debris from a downed Ukrainian drone struck two fuel tanks, starting a fire.

Over 120 firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze, and no casualties were reported.

An airport in Sochi, the city that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics, also briefly suspended operations.

According to Russia's Defense Ministry, 93 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over the Kras-no-dar region and the Black Sea over the weekend.
