BP is cutting 4,700 jobs and 3,000 contractor roles as part of a drive to "simplify and focus" the oil giant, it said on Thursday.

According to the military, the targeted oil depot stored fuel, which was used for the needs of the Russian army. The statement came after Russian reports of the oil depot on fire in Voronezh Oblast. The village of Liski in Voronezh Oblast lies over 150 kilometers (98 miles) east of the Ukrainian border.
