View in Telegram.The Orenburg gas processing plant, the world's largest gas chemical complex, was also attacked by drones. It processes 37.5 billion m³ of gas per year.
The drone attack caused a fire on the gas pipeline of the 3U-70 unit, which purifies raw gas from hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. The technological process at the plant was suspended. The FIRMS service, which tracks fires in real time around the world, recorded the fires at the complex.
“The SBU continues to carry out systematic strikes on the facilities of the Russian oil and gas sector. Each attack hits the Russian budget, reduces foreign exchange earnings, and complicates logistics and fuel supplies for the army,” a source in the Security Service added.
