The Krasnodar Krai emergency response center reported on the evening of March 15 that the fire at an oil depot in the suburbs of Tikhoretsk, which was caused by a drone attack, had been completely extinguished.

Earlier, the emergency response center reported that 20 crews, fire and rescue personnel, and EMERCOM specialists were involved in extinguishing the fire.

As a reminder, a drone attack also caused a fire at an oil depot in the suburbs of Tikhoretsk on the night of March 12. The fire, which covered 3,800 square meters, was extinguished on the morning of March 13.

Any fire of this scale poses a threat to human health, ecologist Valery Brinikh previously noted. "The air may contain elevated concentrations of hazardous substances, making it difficult to breathe and potentially damaging the lungs. In this case, there are also all sorts of man-made problems, because diesel fuel and other substances are burning, and the entire periodic table may be involved," he told the "Caucasian Knot."

In September 2025, a ban was imposed in Krasnodar Krai on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on filming air defense systems, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, the Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming air attacks and air defense work. The "Caucasian Knot" has published the corresponding bill of the regional legislative assembly.
