History
Proletarsk is the site of a massive petroleum tank farm installation of the Russian Federal Agency for State Reserves, some 250 km from the Ukrainian border.
On 18 August 2024, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was set ablaze by a Ukrainian Armed Forces drone strike.
while the Ukrainians aggravated it with another drone strike on that day.
Local authorities declared a state of emergency. On 2 September the fire was extinguished.
The Telegram channel RostovGazeta reported that the fire at the Proletarsk oil depot precipitated a surge in the sale of oil storage and refining facilities in the region due to the threat of new attacks from Ukraine.
