Ukraine’s drones again attack Russia’s major petrochemical complex

Moscow (Reuters) -Local Governor, on Wednesday, in a statement on Wednesday, the second attack on Wednesday, said in a statement on Wednesday, one of the largest Russia in the Bashkortostan region, Salavat Petrochemical Complex was attacked by Ukrainian drones.

Radiy Khabirov, “Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat was subjected to another terrorist drone attack. We are evaluating the scope of the damage. All emergency services at the scene and fire extinguishing measures continue.” He said.

The drones also attacked the same complex controlled by the energy giant Gazprom last week.

When Peace talks with Moscow stopped, Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on the broad oil and gas infrastructure of Russia in recent weeks, targeted refineries and export -related pipelines.

According to traders and retailers, Russia means that the attacks reduce the refinery run and high borrowing costs are reduced and high borrowing costs can not afford to associate fuel stations.

At the beginning of this month, Ukrainian drones hit an oil refinery of about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) from the Ukrainian border in Ufa, the regional capital of Bashkortostan.

Salavat petrochemical complex produces gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other petroleum products, as well as liquefied gases, butyl alcohols, polyethylene, polystyrene and ammonia.
