Ukrainian drones struck a Russian oil pumping station in Kstovo overnight, setting it on fire.
The specific location of the fire has been identified as the village of Mishikha near Kstovo.
The target has been identified as the NPS Gorky oil pumping station, a key node in the national pipeline network that can feed oil toward western routes, including the Druzhba system to Europe.
Video evidence confirms the attack on the Gorky oil refinery, specifying the target as a refinery rather than just a pumping station.
New geolocated media and coordinates confirm the fire at the refinery following the reported drone strike.
FIRMS data confirms an ongoing strong fire, and the strike may have impacted the Gorky pumping station in the pipeline network.
The message specifies the target as the Gorky pumping station and notes the fire involves at least one 50,000 cubic meter oil storage tank.
Governor Gleb Nikitin confirmed the fire was caused by debris from a Ukrainian drone hitting a facility, with no casualties.
The message provides new detail that the targeted Gorky station feeds the Transneft Surgut pipeline, a key artery for Siberian oil exports.
