Russian authorities claim to have intercepted several drones over an industrial facility housing a gas plant and an oil refinery, according to Russian state-linked media cited by N12. It is unclear whether the drones caused any damage.
Moscow reported early Wednesday that its air defenses intercepted several drones over an industrial facility that includes a gas plant and an oil refinery, according to Russian media cited by N12. The authorities did not specify the location of the facility or confirm damage. The claim follows a series of strikes and drone incidents targeting Russian energy infrastructure in recent weeks, including a fire at an oil refinery after drone interceptions earlier this month, as reported by The Zioneer on June 11. It also comes after an incident days earlier in which a Russian interceptor reportedly caused a blast at an oil depot near Moscow, as The Zioneer reported on June 18. The current report is based on a single source without independent verification or details on casualties.
