Drones attacked the largest oil pumping station in Kuban.

Drones attacked the oil pumping station in the Krasnodar region

On the night of March 19, drones launched an attack on the Krasnodar region. According to Russian sources, the drones were heading towards the oil pumping station in the city of Kropotkin.

Witnesses report hearing a series of powerful explosions near the oil refinery. It later became known that a fire broke out on the company's premises as a result of debris falling.

Eyewitnesses report that the wreckage of the downed drone is on fire. However, in the video published by local channels, the size of the fire is significantly larger than just the burning of debris.

It is noted that an air defense system was operating in the region. Officially, the authorities have not yet confirmed the attack.

It is worth reminding that the 'Kropotkinskaya' oil pumping station is the largest station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) in Russia. It is located in the Kavkazsky district of the Krasnodar region and plays a key role in transporting oil from Western Kazakhstan and Russian producers to the marine terminal in the settlement of Yuzhnaya Ozerievka near Novorossiysk, from where oil is supplied to global markets.

Earlier, on the night of March 8-9, residents in various cities also reported hearing powerful explosions. Drones attacked the 'Lukoil-Nizhnegorodneftorgsintez' oil refinery, the Ryazan oil refinery, and the Novolipetsk Steel Works.
