On August 19, a fire broke out at one of the oil refineries in Ufa following a drone attack. According to the head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, a drone struck a unit that was undergoing repairs, damaging the pipes. Preliminary estimates indicate that the equipment will be restored within a few days.
The head of the republic stated that a total of six drones attacked Ufa, four of which were reportedly shot down.
