What is known about the consequences of the drone attack on the Astrakhan GPP in Akhtyubinsk

Having received early signals about the danger of the UAV, the enterprise stopped its work, which made it possible to prevent emissions and avoid damage to chemically hazardous facilities, said Igor Babushkin, Governor of the Astrakhan Region.

He also began to allege alleged fake reports on social media about the consequences of the attack and the ecological disaster, claiming a “Ukrainian trace” and attempts to sow panic among residents of the region.

Rosprirodnadzor and the GPP monitoring service are constantly analyzing the ecological state of the air. There are no exceedances of the standards, — Babushkin cynically states.
