Details: According to the source, the first target was the seaport of Temryuk in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. Two tanks containing petroleum products are on fire there. The fire covers an area of around 2,000 sq m. A total of 70 people and 18 units of equipment have been deployed to extinguish the blaze.
Subsequently, drones struck the Orenburg Gas Processing Plant. It is the world's largest gas chemical complex, processing 37.5 billion cubic metres of gas per year.
As a result of the drone strike, gas ignited in a pipeline on the pipe rack of Unit 3U-70, which removes hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide from raw gas.
The technological process at the facility has been suspended.
The FIRMS service, which tracks fires worldwide in real time, recorded fires at the plant.
According to the Ukrainska Pravda source, the Security Service will continue to carry out special operations to exert additional pressure on Russia's economy.
