Details of the attack became known.
Oil pumping stations (OPS) in two districts in the Yaroslavl region were damaged due to a Ukrainian drone attack, Yaroslavl Governor Mikhail Evraev said in his Telegram channel. Such stations maintain the flow and pressure of oil, ensuring the necessary throughput capacity of the oil pipeline, writes moscowtimes.
"An attack by enemy UAVs on the energy infrastructure of the Yaroslavl region caused minor damage to oil refining stations in two districts of the region. According to preliminary data there are no casualties. Currently, the consequences are localized," - wrote the head of the region in the morning of November 5. The Yaroslavl region is home to the Palkino oil pumping station in Myshkino district, the oil product pumping station PPS Nekouz in Rybinsk and a number of other similar facilities owned by Transneft.
NPS and other oil and gas infrastructure facilities in Russia have been the targets of regular strikes by the AFU and operations by Ukrainian security services.
