On the night of April 9, Ukrainian drones attacked “one of the enterprises” in the city of Krymsk, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, the regional head, Veniamin Kondratiev, reported.
According to eyewitness videos analyzed by Astra, the attack targeted the Krymsk Linear Production and Dispatching Station (LPDS). A fire broke out at the station after the drones arrived.
The station pumps oil and petroleum products through the main pipelines “Tikhoretsk – Novorossiysk 2.3,” “Krymsk – Grushovaya,” and “Krymsk – Krasnodar,” as well as the petroleum products pipeline “Tikhoretsk – Novorossiysk 1.” From the Krymsk LPDS, oil and petroleum products are sent via pipelines to the port of Novorossiysk, and to the Ilsky and Afipsky refineries.
The station is part of JSC Chernomortransneft and is one of the largest in Krasnodar Krai, according to Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, who posted the information on Telegram.
“In Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, on the night of April 9, drones attacked the Krymsk Linear Production and Dispatching Station, an important node in the oil pipeline infrastructure,” Kovalenko noted.
