Russian Orthodox priests have visited the scene of a huge fire at a fuel depot, which continues to burn three days after being set alight in a Ukrainian drone attack.

More than 500 firefighters have been tackling the giant blaze at the Proletarsk oil storage facility in the southern Rostov region.

About 20 of 74 storage tanks were on fire, local authorities told the RIA news agency.

On Wednesday, local Orthodox priests said prayers next to the fire engines and brought an icon to the scene in support of firefighters’ efforts.
