On May 9, Ukrainian drones launched a targeted attack on an oil depot in the Krasnodar Territory of Russia, causing a fire at the site. This attack followed previous bombings at oil depots in the region, with the Ukrainian Security Service conducting a drone attack on the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil refinery in Bashkiria.
These incidents indicate escalating tensions and conflicts in the region, with unmanned aerial vehicles being used in targeted attacks on strategic oil facilities. The Ukrainian Security Service targeted an oil catalytic cracking installation at the refinery, causing damage.
As a result of these attacks, concerns have been raised about the security of critical infrastructure and the potential for further disruptions in the oil and gas sector. Authorities are likely to increase surveillance and security measures to prevent future attacks and safeguard vital facilities from similar incidents.
