Military reconnaissance kamikaze drones attacked another target of Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure: an oil pumping station in the Bryansk Region was hit.
This was reported by sources in the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU).
The drones struck an oil pumping station on the Transneft Druzhba oil pipeline in the town of Unecha in the Bryansk Region.
The operation was carried out jointly with units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces. According to information from local public sources, on the night of 13 August a series of explosions were heard in the city of Unecha and the surrounding area, after which a severe fire broke out at the Unecha oil pumping station and emergency services were dispatched to the scene.
Unecha is the largest hub of the Druzhba oil pipeline network, owned by the Transnefteproduct holding company and involved in supplying the aggressor country’s military-industrial complex. The main function of the station is to transport oil through a pipeline system with a total length of about 9,000 km.
On 11 August, drones belonging to Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence struck the Orenburg Helium Plant in Russia. This is the only enterprise in Russia that produces a critically important component for rocket manufacturing, the space industry and the aviation industry.
