The Novy Urengoy plant for preparing condensate for transportation (ZPKT) in Yamal has, according to Ukrainian sources, become a successfully hit target. A fire broke out at the facility, and over the plant, as OSINT researchers report, a flare is burning. RBC-Ukraine reports this, citing the Telegram channel Exilenova+ and a statement from the company Fire Point. According to the latter, FP-1 drones covered more than 3,200 kilometers, setting a new record for the range of a target hit on Russian territory. ### Timeline of the attack Around 14:00, a drone danger alert was declared in Yamal and neighboring Russian regions. A few hours later, it became known that the Novy Urengoy ZPKT in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug had been attacked. The Telegram channel Exilenova+ published video of the fire at the facility and noted that the distance to the target from Ukraine was at least 2,800 kilometers in a straight line. The local governor, according to Russian media reports, confirmed the fire at the plant, attributing it to the "falling of drone debris." ### What is the Novy Urengoy ZPKT The condensate preparation plant for transportation is one of the key objects of the region's gas-condensate infrastructure, located in the Novy Urengoy area. Its design capacity is approximately 19.5 million tons of feedstock per year. Fire Point clarified that the FP-1 drones covered more than 3,200 km and added: "A hit within the facility's territory has been confirmed. The extent of the damage is being clarified. Details to follow." ### Record range of the strike The attack on the ZPKT became one of the longest-range strikes recorded on Russian territory. The following phrasing appeared online: "Guess who covered more than 3,300 km and successfully hit the target." Thus, the strike on the Yamal object significantly expanded the declared range of Ukrainian FP-1 drones compared to previous operations. ### Contradictory data Open sources disagree on both the range figures and the details of the incident. Exilenova+ cites "at least 2,800 kilometers in a straight line," OSINT data speaks of 3,200 km from the state border with Ukraine, while the quote and Fire Point's statement mention "more than 3,200 km" and "more than 3,300 km." The discrepancy is explained by different reference points (Ukrainian territory, the border, the actual flight trajectory). In addition, some publications erroneously place the plant in the Tyumen region, whereas Novy Urengoy and the ZPKT itself are located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Finally, the Ukrainian side claims a direct hit and a fire, while the Russian governor limits himself to the phrasing about the "falling of drone debris," and the extent of the damage is not officially disclosed. ### Context: a series of strikes on oil and gas facilities The strike on the ZPKT continues the series of attacks on Russia's energy and oil-and-gas infrastructure. On the night of September 8, according to reports, drones attacked the Saratov Oil Refinery, where local residents recorded explosions and a fire. On the night of September 6, Ukrainian drones again hit the Ryazan Oil Refinery, after which a fire also broke out there. Thus, the attack in Yamal became another episode of deliberate pressure on oil-and-gas sector objects at considerable distances from the border. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Ukraine reached the Novy Urengoy ZPKT 3,300 kilometers from the border (video)](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/ukrayina-distala-novourengoyskiy-zpkt-3300-1788964631.html) - Подтверждает факт атаки, пожар, ссылки на Exilenova+ и Fire Point, дальность ~3300 км. - [A fair response to the war of the RF — Zelensky reacted to the record strike on RF plants at ...](https://unn.ua/ru/news/spravedlivii-otvet-na-voinu-rf-zelenskii-otreagiroval-na-rekordnoe-porazhenie-zavodov-rf-na-rasstoyanii-bolee-3000-km) - Подтверждает рекордную дальность более 3000 км и реакцию Киева. - [Record strike at a distance of more than 3,000 km: the AFU struck the Novy Urengoy ZPKT in Russia](https://zn.ua/war/rekordnyj-udar-na-rasstojanii-bolee-3000-km-vsu-nanesli-udar-po-novourenhojskomu-zpkt-v-rossii.html) - Подтверждает удар по ЗПКТ и дальность более 3000 км. - [Drones reached a target 3,200 km away: Fire Point announced a record strike on the RF](https://glavred.info/world/drony-dostali-cel-za-3200-km-fire-point-zayavila-o-rekordnom-udare-po-rf-10795382.html) - Подтверждает заявление Fire Point о 3200+ км и рекордной дальности. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What is the Novy Urengoy ZPKT? **A:** It is a plant for preparing condensate for transportation in the Novy Urengoy area (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug), one of the key objects of the gas-condensate infrastructure with a design capacity of about 19.5 million tons of feedstock per year. ### Q: What is the declared range of the strike in this attack? **A:** Fire Point claims more than 3,200 km, the quotes mention "more than 3,300 km," and Exilenova+ cites "at least 2,800 km in a straight line."
