Noginsk fuel depot — drone strike and evacuations

18 July 2026 · Overnight (local time)

Noginsk, Moscow Oblast, Russia (exact depot location not published)

What happened

A Ukrainian drone struck a fuel depot in Noginsk and started a fire, according to Moscow Oblast Governor Andrei Vorobyov. Authorities evacuated a nearby maternity hospital and a residential building. Ukraine's General Staff said the depot supplied the Russian armed forces, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said an oil facility was among the targets hit during the wider overnight operation. The reviewed reporting did not identify the depot operator, quantify the fuel stored or destroyed, report a depot-specific casualty figure, or publish the impact coordinates. The marker is therefore an approximate Noginsk reference. Casualties reported elsewhere in the wider Moscow-region attack are not assigned to this depot.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
