The oil depot of the 'Crystal' plant in the Russian city of Engels, Saratov region, has been burning for the fourth consecutive day. Governor Roman Busargin reported that the area of the fire has significantly decreased, but rescue services and specialists continue to work on extinguishing it.
On the night of January 14, Ukrainian drones attacked the oil depot.
