One of Russia’s largest petrochemical complexes, Salavat, located in the Urals, suspended operations on July 14 after a drone attack.
Reuters reports this.
According to the agency, the strike damaged and shut down two primary oil processing units – CDU-6 with a capacity of 17,140 tons per day and CDU-4, which is capable of processing up to 11,430 tons of oil and gas condensate daily.
In addition, some recycling plants and other technological equipment were damaged. According to sources, the restoration of the enterprise could take from several weeks to several months.
At the same time, the regional governor confirmed the attack, but stated that the plant would likely be able to resume normal operations within a few days.
In 2024, the Salavat complex processed about 7.2 million tons of oil, which is approximately 2.7% of Russia’s total oil refining. The enterprise also produced 2.5 million tons of diesel fuel, 1.5 million tons of gasoline, and 700,000 tons of fuel oil.
In addition to fuel products, the plant produces liquefied gas, polyethylene, polystyrene, ammonia, and other petrochemical products.
It was previously reported that the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Mi-28 “Night Hunter” attack helicopter in the Belgorod region of the Russian Federation .
