The Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery was damaged in a drone attack.
As a result of the airstrike, the oil products plant in Novoshakhtinsk was damaged. The operation of the enterprise has been halted.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", the Rostov region is regularly subjected to drone attacks. Thus, on the night of September 24, drones were shot down in Taganrog, Kagalychnik and Neklinovsky districts. In the Kagalychnik district, administrative buildings of the oil depot were damaged, there are no injuries, the governor reported.
Last night, "about 50 drones" were destroyed in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Novoshakhtinsk, and in six districts of the Rostov region: Millerovsky, Tarasovsky, Verkhnedonskoy, Chertkovsky, Kamensky, and Krasnosulinsky, the governor Yuri Slyusar reported on his Telegram channel.
According to him, the Novoshakhtinsk oil products plant was damaged as a result of the attack. "There are no casualties. The enterprise has temporarily suspended operations," the official wrote.
In the Rostov region, there is a ban on filming airstrikes and their consequences, anti-aircraft defense operations, and locations of military units. A corresponding decree from the governor has been published on "Caucasian Knot". In other regions of the Southern Federal District and the North Caucasian Federal District, filming of drone attacks and their consequences is also prohibited. These bans contradict the Constitution, lawyers pointed out.
Recall that on August 25, the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery also suspended operations after being damaged in a drone attack.
Amid drone attacks on oil refineries, including in southern Russia, a fuel crisis has emerged. The fuel problem has caused a sharp increase in demand for the installation of gas cylinder equipment. In auto services, customer queues have stretched for several months ahead, and the cost of equipment has nearly doubled.
Materials on the fuel shortage situation in southern Russia have been collected by "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Caucasus: what's happening with gasoline?".
