On the night of November 11, the Saratov region of the Russian Federation was massively attacked by drones. Russians complain of explosions in Saratov and Engels, the network reports about fire and hits on an oil industry facility, “Focus” reported.
Preliminary information suggests that drones at night hit the Saratov oil refinery, which has a design capacity to process about 140,000 barrels of crude oil per day. This was reported by monitoring channels.
The air alert due to the threat of drones in the Saratov region was announced as early as around 10 p.m. on November 10. “Rosaviatsia” reported that the airport in Saratov has imposed restrictions on the reception and release of aircraft. The local governor also warned about the threat of drones to the region.
Russian Telegram channels soon reported a series of loud explosions in Engels and Saratov. The network showed footage from Saratov, where, tentatively, drones hit a refinery.
According to eyewitnesses, there were about 5-7 strong explosions in Saratov. Russians also heard the sounds of engines rumbling in the sky and saw bright flashes.
While monitoring outlets are writing about a likely hit on the Saratov refinery, local authorities are reporting alleged drone strikes on civilian infrastructure in the Saratov region.
“As a result of UAV attacks, there is damage to civilian infrastructure,” the Russian governor said.
