Attack on Ilsky Refinery and Kropotinskaya Station in the Russian Federation: up to 20 explosions, a source of focus, a total
UAVs attacked two important enterprises operating at the Russian MIC - the Il oil refining plant (NPP) and the oil traveling station (NPS) "Kropotkinskaya". At least 20 explosions were heard in the Ilsky refinery, after which a fire began at the plant. The Il Refinery includes six technological oil processing installations with a total capacity of 6. 6 million tons per year.
In February 2024, the SBU drones also attacked this plant and damaged the installation of primary oil processing for $ 50 million. The second successful goal of Ukrainian drones - Kropotinskaya NPS. It is the largest station of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in Russia. As a result of the attack, the NPS stopped, it was decommissioned. Oil is pumped bypassing this station. "Oil factories and oil pumping stations are quite legitimate goals.
They not only work for the defense of Russia, provide fuel with enemy troops, but are important for the Russian economy that finances the war through oil surpluses," the interlocutor said. We will remind, on February 13 drones attacked the city of Slavyansk-on-Kuban in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. The air defense forces reflected a "massive attack" on the city, eyewitnesses said.
