On the morning of July 23, a series of powerful explosions were heard in the Republic of Bashkortostan on the territory of an important oil facility. The impact fell on the linear production and dispatching station “Subkhankulovo”.

A large-scale fire broke out at the site of the attack, according to the monitoring Telegram channel Supernova.

Event details

According to eyewitnesses, drones attacked a linear production control station in the Tuymazinsky district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. A fire broke out on the site after the UAV arrived.

According to preliminary data and footage from the scene, one of the fuel tanks caught fire, and a thick column of black smoke rose above the station. The attack was part of a series of drone strikes on Russian fuel and energy infrastructure in several regions. At the same time, the NS-Oil oil depot and refinery in the Ulyanovsk region were hit.

An airstrike in the region was declared at around 7:00 a.m., and an hour later, explosions were heard in the Tuymazyn district and a huge column of black smoke rose into the sky. However, even two hours after the explosions, local authorities remain silent about the UAV attack and do not comment on the consequences.

Impact of the facility on the Russian fuel and energy sector

The Subkhankulovo oil pipeline terminal is part of the Tuymazinsky Oil Pipeline Department of Transneft-Urals JSC. The facility serves as a key oil pumping hub in the Urals, connecting the fields of Western Siberia and Bashkiria with export main pipelines and the largest refineries.

The station provides pumping, mixing and further distribution of crude oil supplied by the Ust-Balyk – Kurgan – Ufa – Almetyevsk main oil pipeline. In addition to crude oil, the facility operates a separate complex responsible for receiving, storing and pumping gasoline and diesel fuel.

The station’s tank farm ( with a total capacity of over 160 thousand cubic meters for oil and 100 thousand cubic meters for petroleum products ) allows you to smooth out peak loads, accumulate technological reserves, and conduct accounting operations.
