A Russian military supply base in the occupied part of Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast burned overnight, and the fires were captured by NASA's fire map, which relies on satellite data. Such bases supply Russian forces at the front, so damage to them can affect how those troops are provisioned.

The satellite data show that several fires broke out at the same time and grew within an hour. Exilenova+, a Ukrainian monitoring channel, reported heavy Ukrainian strikes in the same area.

The source does not say what was stored at the base, how extensive the damage is or whether there were casualties. The cause of the fires has not been officially confirmed; the information rests on satellite data and the monitoring channel's report.
