On the morning of October 31, drones struck an industrial zone in Ufa (Republic of Bashkortostan). The target of the attack was the Bashneft-UNPZ oil refinery.
As a result of shelling, a fire broke out on the territory of the enterprise. This was reported by the monitoring Telegram channel Exilenova+.
Consequences of the attack
The drone threat was declared in Bashkortostan at around 3:00 a.m. An hour later, local channels reported that local residents had “reported sounds similar to explosions .” The “Carpet” plan was announced at Ufa airport. The airport was temporarily closed to incoming and outgoing flights.
“Several readers reported gunshots in the Chernikovka area at around 7:30 a.m. They also reported that sirens were going off in the area. Readers reported a thick column of smoke in the Mykhailivka and Krasny Yar areas,” Russian channels wrote.
Several hours after the attack, the regional authorities of the Republic of Bashkortostan did not comment on the attack and its consequences. Meanwhile, local residents are writing about the two attacked factories.
NASA’s FIRMS web platform, which displays active fires and thermal anomalies around the world in near real-time, confirmed the fire on the company’s premises.

What is known about the Ufa refinery?
In the north-eastern part of Ufa, there are three Bashneft refineries: Bashneft-Novoil, Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-UNPZ. The Ufa group of oil refineries is one of the most powerful and technologically advanced oil refining and petrochemical complexes in Russia. All three plants are located in the Chernivtsi industrial zone.
The plants are interconnected by a system of product pipelines. Due to their remote geographical location (about 1,300-1,400 km from the border with Ukraine), the Ufa plants were long considered a deep rear. However, recently the complex has repeatedly become a target for attacks by long-range drones.

As OBOZ.UA reported, on October 28, the Azot chemical plant was attacked in the Tula region. It is very important for the enemy’s military-industrial complex: according to the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, the enterprise supplied nitric acid to the Sverdlov plant in Dzerzhinsk, which produces explosives.
