Satellite images confirm significant damage to storage units at the Prokhorovka oil depot in Belgorod Oblast, Russia, following a Ukrainian strike on September 9. The images, shared by zarGEOINT on X, pinpoint the location at 51.03848, 36.73369. This incident occurred amidst heightened geopolitical tensions and follows reports of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia's Primorsk port yesterday, which damaged two tankers. India's Adani Group has since banned Western-sanctioned tankers from its ports, potentially disrupting Russian oil supplies. Poland has also launched Operation "Eastern Sentinel" in response to Russian drone incursions. Russian forces are currently engaged in wide-ranging military exercises, including Zapad-2025 activities involving missile systems and bomber strikes in Arctic latitudes and the François-Joseph archipelago. The European Union Council recently extended its sanctions against Russia for another six months.
