It has emerged that long-range drones operated by the Special Operations Centre A of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) were behind an attack on the Tingovatovo oil pumping station in the Russian settlement of Konar, Chuvash Republic, which is around 1,000 km from Ukraine, on the night of 26-27 September.

Details: Oleg Nikolayev, Head of the Chuvash Republic, confirmed the strike earlier, saying operations at the station have been temporarily suspended while the damage is being assessed.

Sources cited by the SSU confirmed that Pumping Station No. 1 was hit and caught fire. Oil flows through the facility have been stopped.

Quote: "The SSU continues to impose 'sanctions' on Russia's oil sector, which generates extraordinary profits used to wage war against Ukraine. Efforts to cut petrodollars from the Russian budget will continue."

Background: Nikolayev reported that "unmanned aerial vehicles from Ukraine" had attacked an oil pumping station in the Chuvash Republic on the morning of 27 September.
