Aug 18 (Reuters) - Debris from a destroyed Ukrainian

drone sparked a diesel fuel fire at an industrial warehouse in

Russia's Rostov region, the governor of the southwest Russian

region said on Sunday.

"Firefighting units were called in to put out the fire,"

Governor Vasily Golubev said on the Telegram messaging app.

Baza, a Telegram channel close to Russian law enforcement,

said an oil depot was damaged in Rostov.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports. There

was no immediate comment from Ukraine.

Kyiv has often said its air attacks on Russia's military,

energy and transport infrastructure are in response to Moscow's

continued strikes on Ukrainian territory.
