On the night of March 8, explosions were heard in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai . Local authorities subsequently reported a fire at an oil depot in Armavir, which was only contained by morning, covering an area of approximately 700 square meters.
The OSINT channel “KiberBoroshno” confirmed that the missile struck the Armavir line production control station. Disabling this facility will disrupt the oil product pipeline logistics in this area.
What is known
The Krasnodar Krai Operational Headquarters first reported the attack on the Armavir oil depot, or more precisely, the “fire at the oil depot due to a drone attack,” at 11:16 PM on March 7.
Initially, the area of the fire, according to official data, was 200 square meters.
91 people and 26 pieces of equipment were sent to fight the fire.
After 6:00 a.m., the Krasnodar Krai Operational Headquarters reported the results of their work: the “fire” had grown to 700 square meters, and by that time, 120 people and 38 pieces of equipment were already involved in extinguishing it. Local authorities also claimed that the fire was contained by morning.
Videos that appeared online showed tanks catching fire.
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the “interception and destruction” of 72 drones overnight. Of these, only four UAVs were allegedly shot down over the Krasnodar Krai.
According to CyberBoroshno, the Armavir LPDS, a key pipeline logistics facility for petroleum products where fuel is pumped through a main pipeline, accumulated in a tank farm, and then shipped to the railway, was hit.
“A failure at such a node impacts several system elements simultaneously: it can disrupt the operation of a section of the pipeline and reduce pumping volumes, create a shortage in the storage buffer, and halt rail loading, through which fuel is distributed further to the regions. Essentially, the LPD is one link in the energy chain, so damage to it impacts not just a single facility, but the entire petroleum product transportation system in that section,” the statement noted.
The network notes that the attacked facility is a critical node in the pipeline logistics system for the Russian company Transneft. The Russian publication SOTA reports that the station belonged to Transneft until 2011, after which it was purchased by the Southern Oil Company.
As OBOZ.UA reported, residents of Belgorod complained of an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces last night. The governor reported “serious damage to power facilities” and that the region was experiencing power, water, and heating outages.
Mafia land must burn.
I second that.
The means of extraction, production, refining and distribution of energy must be completely smashed.
And the orcs must be burned too.
Just make sure that putler can’t benefit from this spike in oil prices.
Yes, Ukraine should concentrate largely on the mafia oil industry again. But I can hear certain crybabies already.
