The Tanker "Valery Gorchakov" Is On Fire In The Port Of Rostov

New details of drone attack on Russian strategic facilities.

As a result of a drone attack on strategic facilities in Russia's Rostov region on December 18, according to preliminary information, the Valery Gorchakov tanker was damaged. This was reported by Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels, "Dialog.UA".

According to Telegram channels, the tanker "Valery Gorchakov" is in the port of Rostov-on-Don, and it was there that it was struck by UAVs.

The governor of Rostov Region Yuri Slyusar has already confirmed that drones attacked the Rostov port on the night of December 18. According to him, the drone attack caused a cargo ship to catch fire, but he did not say which one specifically. He also said that two crew members on board were killed and three more people were injured.

In addition, Yuri Slyusar confirmed earlier information that appeared in Telegram channels that drones attacked various strategic facilities in the Rostov region on the night of December 18. For example, in Bataysk and Taganrog. The consequences are being clarified.

The tanker "Valery Gorchakov" was built back in 1969, but at first it was a dry-cargo ship. It was converted into an oil tanker in 2004. It belongs to the Volgo-Don type of river vessels designed for mixed navigation "river - sea". The tanker transported oil and oil products, at the expense of which the Kremlin continues its war against Ukraine, so it was a legitimate target for the AFU.
