**Deck**: An oil depot in the Russian resort city of Sochi, previously damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack, was hit again overnight. The repeated strike underlines continuing risks to Russia’s fuel infrastructure far from the front lines.

A key oil depot in Sochi has been hit again overnight, according to initial reports, underscoring how Russian energy facilities remain exposed even after earlier attacks.

The same depot had already been targeted by Ukrainian drones in a previous strike that inflicted significant damage on the site. The latest report describes another overnight hit on the facility, but provides no official Russian account of the new damage or its impact on operations.

The fact that a depot already damaged in an earlier attack has reportedly been struck again highlights the challenge of protecting fuel storage sites that support both civilian and military needs. Oil depots are critical nodes in Russia’s logistics network, and fires or explosions at such sites can disrupt fuel supplies and demand extensive emergency response.

Sochi, better known internationally as a Black Sea resort, now finds one of its industrial sites repeatedly drawn into the war. The renewed targeting of the same facility will be closely watched for signs of how Russia adapts its defenses and how far attacks on energy infrastructure may continue to spread beyond the front.

Key developments to watch include any confirmation from Russian authorities about the extent of the latest damage and visible changes in security measures around the depot and similar facilities in the region.
