Another military facility caught fire in Russia

The pipeline pumped oil to tankers at the "Azov Sea Port".

On the night of 6 April 2024, near the settlement of Azov (Rostov region of the Russian Federation), there was an explosion of a pipeline that was used to pump oil products from a local oil depot to tankers in the port area of the Azov Sea Port. According to scouts, the loading of tankers with oil products has been suspended indefinitely. This was stated in the Main Directorate of intelligence of the Ministry of defence of Ukraine.

The object was used by the state-aggressor for military purposes to support the conduct of genocidal war against Ukraine, - indicated in intelligence.

The GUR also showed a video from the scene. An unknown cameraman started filming the area in advance, where an explosion was later heard and a flash was seen.

We would like to point out that in recent weeks, the Ukrainian defence forces have been successfully attacking oil refineries in Russia. For example, The Insider has calculated that in 2024 there were 15 drone attacks on 13 oil refineries in nine regions of Russia. Of these, eight facilities suffered significant damage.
