MOSCOW: Ukrainian drones attacked the Orenburg gas processing plant, the world’s largest facility of its kind, and damaged part of it, but no employees were hurt in the attack, the region’s governor said today.
The governor, Yevgeny Solntsev, said on his official Telegram channel that the drone strike had caused a fire to break out at a workshop at the plant, which emergency services were working to put out.
It is the first time that the plant, part of the Orenburg gas chemical complex, which includes Gazprom’s production and processing facilities in the Orenburg region with an annual capacity of 45 billion cubic metres of gas, has been reported to have been hit.
