SSU drones hit Andreapol oil refinery in russia again – sources

On the night of February 13, SSU drones hit the Andreapol oil pumping station, which is an important component of the Baltic Pipeline System-2, for the second time in the past 2 weeks.

The Ukrainian News agency was informed about this by sources in the SSU.

As a result of the drone strike, a fire broke out in the area of ​​the closed switchgear and the boiler equipment warehouse.

Oil pumping by the station was temporarily suspended.

This is the second attack by SSU drones on this facility, as the first took place on January 29 of this year.

During the first attack, the filtration pump site, tanks with additives were damaged, oil products spilled and a fire broke out.

"Every day of downtime of this oil pumping station brings Russia tens of millions of dollars in losses, because it is part of the pipeline that supplies oil to the Ust-Luga terminal on the Baltic Sea. The SSU's drone sanctions against the Russian oil complex will continue," an informed source in the SSU said.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, SSU drones previously struck the Volgograd and Astrakhan oil refineries in the russian federation.
