More than a dozen explosions occurred in several regions of Russia, in the Krasnodar Krai and in Tver. The main strike hit the Krymskaya oil pumping station, which supplies Transneft and is part of its structure, according to Russian monitoring channels.
In total, in addition to the linear oil pumping station, facilities in Gelendzhik and the Krymskyi district were hit. According to eyewitnesses, air defense attempted to repel the drone attack, but judging by the explosions, it was unsuccessful.
Eyewitnesses claim they saw flashes in the sky from the Black Sea side around three in the morning. There is no official information about casualties or damage.
It was also reported that unknown drones attacked the Russian city of Tver. A fire broke out in the city, but what exactly was hit is currently unknown.
