Footage published on social media appears to show a fire at an oil depot in the Russian city of Voronezh. The governor of the region said on Saturday that emergency services were trying to put out a burning fuel tank at an oil depot. More than 100 firefighters and 30 units of equipment were working at the site, Alexander Gusev said on Telegram. Earlier on Saturday, a Russian security source told Reuters that Wagner fighters had taken control of military facilities in the city of Voronezh, about 500km (310 miles) south of Moscow. Reuters could not independently confirm that assertion.
The Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post reported the Russian air force had struck a fuel depot amid the armed uprising by the Wagner group.
