MOSCOW (Reuters) - A fire at an oil depot in southern Russia's Krasnodar region after a suspected Ukrainian drone attack has been extinguished nearly a week after it started, region governor Veniamin Kondratiev said on Tuesday.

The Kavkazskaya depot is located only a few kilometres from the Kropotkinskaya pumping station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which was also hit by a drone last month, sparking fears of a drop in oil supplies in global markets.

The depot is key for Russia's oil exports via the CPC, which mainly transports Kazakhstan's oil exports.
