A new emergency has occurred in the city of Mikhailovsk in the Stavropol Krai. The region's largest fuel facility — the oil depot of LLC "LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt" — has become the target of an attack by unmanned aerial vehicles. This is already the third strike on this infrastructure in the last two weeks.
Scale of the incident
Local residents, who witnessed the events, are publishing footage from the scene on social media. The videos clearly show several fire outbreaks. Fire services and rescuers have already begun to eliminate the consequences of the strike. The photos show fire crews at work, hoses laid out, and special equipment operating against a backdrop of smoke.
Significance of the facility
The oil depot in Mikhailovsk is one of the key logistics hubs in southern Russia. The enterprise specializes in the receipt, storage, and subsequent distribution of petroleum products, including gasoline and diesel fuel. Regular attacks on this facility create risks for the uninterrupted supply of fuel to the region.
History of attacks
This is not the first case of an attack on the city's infrastructure. On the night of July 9, Mikhailovsk was already subjected to a strike by unknown drones. At that time, the same "Lukoil-Yugnefteprodukt" depot was hit, and the fire resulting from the attack continued to burn until morning. The repetition of the scenario after a short time indicates targeted pressure on the region's fuel logistics.
