New details of the night attack have emerged.

A terminal on the territory of an oil products plant has caught fire in Russia's Rostov-on-Don after a nighttime UAV attack on July 5.

Russians have published online a video of the fly-in and the "explosions" afterwards. They say that it is the "oil plant" that is burning in the city.

According to eyewitnesses, they heard a drone flyover and loud explosions in Rostov-on-Don, as well as in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, on Friday night. It is noted that some of them were probably the work of air defence systems.

Some Russian public pages wrote that allegedly the oil terminal caught fire after a "drone was shot down" over it.

"It's an oil terminal on fire, the air defence has shot it down, ambulances and firefighters are coming," eyewitnesses commented.

However, others said that it was a matter of an incoming drone - JSC "NZNP branch Rostovsky" on the Left Bank of the Don between Rostov and Bataysk was hit. They also released a video of a powerful fire on the territory of the facility after the explosion - the fire was visible from afar.
