Fire on the territory of Albashneft
The oil depot was attacked by a missile of "unidentified type", the emergency services of the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation reported.
The Albashneft oil depot in Russia's Krasnodar region was attacked by a missile, not drones, as local authorities previously claimed, the Astra Telegram channel reported on Thursday, February 6.
On the night of February 5, Governor Veniamin Kondratyev announced that a drone attack had been repelled in the Krasnodar Territory. According to him, in the village of Novominskaya, the wreckage of a UAV fell on a tank with minor residues of oil products. A fire broke out. At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry did not report anything about the drone attack in the Krasnodar Territory in its morning briefing. Eyewitnesses said that after the attack the Albashneft oil depot caught fire.
Astra sources in the Krasnodar Krai emergency services told us that the oil depot was attacked by a missile of “unidentified type.” Two tanks were damaged — one, containing 60 tons of oil, caught fire after the attack, and the second, containing 60 tons of diesel fuel, was superficially damaged and did not catch fire.
