May 31 (Reuters) - Two people were injured when an oil

depot in the Krasnodar region caught fire after a Ukraine drone

strike early on Friday targeting oil facilities, local officials

of the southern Russian region said.

"The situation is more serious in the Temryuk district - the

infrastructure of the oil depot there was damaged by an air

strike," Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on the

Telegram messaging app.

He said that the fire, which was sparked by falling drone

debris, has been since extinguished.

The head of the Temryuk district of the Krasnodar region

said on Telegram that two people suffered minor injuries as a

result of the attack.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There

was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Kyiv has said that

targeting Russia's energy, military and transport infrastructure

undermines Moscow's overall war effort.
