Huge explosions tore through two oil storage facilities in a Russian city near the border with Ukraine this morning after suspected drone strikes by Ukrainian forces.

The blasts occurred within 15 minutes of each other in Bryansk, about 95 miles from Ukraine, Russian state television said, without speculating on their causes. It said one of the explosions was at a fuel tank at a military base, the other at a nearby oil refinery owned by Transneft, the state-controlled oil company.
