Another refinery on fire in Russia

According to local residents, on October 15, they noticed smoke rising over the territory of Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim.

The ASTRA OSINT analyst analyzed all available data — the shooting was conducted in the direction of Zeleny Gay Street from the road leading from Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim to the village of Stary Turbasly.

Local channels published blurry videos of drones flying overhead.

Local residents also reported in chat rooms about those who were in the air when the UAV approached Ufa. In the morning, a drone emergency was declared in Bashkortostan, and the Ufa airport temporarily suspended the reception and release of aircraft.

What is important to understand is that the local authorities did not provide any official comments on this matter at the time of publication.

Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim is one of the largest oil refineries in Bashkortostan, a branch of Bashneft ANC (part of Rosneft).

The plant includes hydrotreating units and a complex for the production of paraxylene, benzene, and other components.
