Another oil infrastructure facility in Russia caught fire following a drone attack.

This was reported by Reuters.

The incident occurred at the Gorky oil pumping station in the Nizhny Novgorod region, where, according to sources, at least two oil tanks, each with a capacity of 50,000 cubic meters, caught fire.

The station is part of the Transneft system and is located approximately 50 km from Nizhny Novgorod. It is used to transport oil for export to the port of Primorsk on the Baltic Sea.

Raw materials are also supplied through this facility to a number of key oil refineries, including the Moscow Refinery, Yaroslavnefteorgsintez, and Kirishinefteorgsintez.

This is not the first incident in recent days—earlier, a fire raged at the oil terminal in Tuapse, where the flames have been burning for several days.
