Russian media report one more drone attack in Russian Tatarstan - at TANEKO oil refinery plant in Nizhnekamsk.
TANECO includes a complex of oil refineries and petrochemical plants, including ones under construction in the city of Nizhnekamsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.
⚡️New details of the attack on the Tatarstan oil refinery: joint operation of the Security Service of Ukraine and Ukrainian Defense Intelligence, sources say.
A Ukrainian long-range drone hit a primary oil refining unit at the Nizhnekamsk refinery, causing a fire. The capacity of this unit was 8 million tons of oil, which is 2.6% of Russia's total annual refining capacity. Moreover, this plant is one of the five largest refineries in Russia.
"We continue to work systematically to ensure that the Russian Federation has fewer opportunities to finance the war of conquest against Ukraine. We will continue to block oxygen to the petrol pumping country to minimize the flow of petrodollars to the Russian military budget," the SSU source said.
Blimey, just looked at that refinery on Google.....its absolutely huge, covers an area about 6km by 5km ......
