Ukrainian drone operators destroyed three Russian fuel tanks during a strike on a train moving through occupied areas of Zaporizhzhia Oblast on May 24, according to Ukraine's Military Intelligence Agency (HUR).

HUR released a video of the strike on its official Telegram channel on May 25, showing a train engulfed in flames. The agency said that it was responsible for the attack.

The Kyiv Independent was not able to independently verify the claims.

"At least three fuel tanks were destroyed. The railway supply of the Russian occupation forces to the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhia Oblast and Crimea have been disrupted," HUR said.

The drones were intercepted over several regions of Russia, including Moscow and Kursk oblasts, according to the ministry.
