SBU Drones Stopped the Operation of One of the Key Oil Pumping Stations in Kuban.

SBU Drones Halted Operations at an Oil Pumping Station in Russia

On February 20, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine impacted the operations of the oil pumping station 'Novovelychkovska' in Russia, reports 'Glavkom' citing sources in the SBU.

This station is a crucial factor for transporting oil in Kuban and supplies oil to the Afipsky and Ilysky refineries.

The drone strike was aimed at the substation that powers the refineries. The substation was shut down, leading to a complete halt and emergency shutdown of the oil pumping process.

Currently, Russian authorities are assessing the amount of damage.

It is noted that this operation has already become the eighth successful special operation of the Service since the beginning of the year, aimed at targeting oil refining and pumping capacities of the Russian Federation.

Each of these attacks results in millions of dollars in losses for Russia and complicates fuel supplies to the Russian army.

Recently, there was also an attack on the Saratov Oil Refinery in Russia, as well as on the 'Plastifactor' company in the village of Krym in the Rostov region. Additionally, a month ago, there was a large fire in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation on an industrial site, which caused the largest refinery in southern Russia to halt half of its capacities.
