Unknown drones are attacking the Leningrad Oblast of russia. A fire has broken out in the city of Kirishi.
This is stated in a post by the governor of the Leningrad Oblast, Aleksandr Drozdenko, on Telegram.
The first message about the announcement of danger due to unknown drones in the airspace of the Leningrad Oblast appeared at 02:40 am.
Governor Drozdenko warned of a possible decrease in mobile Internet speed and distributed a memo on actions in the event of an "Air Danger" signal.
In particular, it advises staying at home, moving away from windows or moving to a room without windows. Also among the tips is to remain calm.
Later, information about the work of air defense in the Leningrad Oblast and the "shooting down" of as many as seven drones appeared on Drozdenko's Telegram channel.
He also reported a fire in the industrial zone of the city, which firefighters began to extinguish.
The ASTRA Telegram channel, citing local residents, writes that the Kirishinefteorgsintez oil refinery is likely under attack. This is one of the largest oil refineries in russia.
It should be recalled that on the night of September 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked the Kirishi refinery in the Leningrad Oblast with drones. As noted by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Robert "Magyar" Brovdi, this is one of the largest refineries in russia, which can process up to 20 million tons of oil per year.
The Unmanned Systems Forces specified that after the strike on the refinery, a large-scale fire broke out there. After that, the plant significantly reduced oil processing.
