Russian oil depot bombed to deny Wagner mercenaries fuel supply, while Ukraine prepares for F-16 training.

Unverified footage appears to show a Russian attack helicopter bombing an oil depot in Voronezh as the Wagner Group takes up positions in the city during an armed mutiny. The group reportedly attempted to seize the depot to supply their convoys with fuel. Russian military helicopters also opened fire on a Wagner mercenary military convoy on the M4 highway outside the city.
