Reports have detailed multiple instances of explosions and fires across Russia, notably involving industrial infrastructure. A significant incident occurred at the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil refinery, situated in Bashkortostan, approximately 1,400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. According to multiple sources, the facility was targeted by long-range drones operated by the Ukrainian Security Service.
Specifically, on September 18, 2025, the petrochemical plant suffered an attack that reportedly struck the ELOU-AVT-4 unit, which is central to the refinery’s operations. Local residents have also reported numerous attacks in the vicinity of the site. In addition to the incidents at the major Gazprom facility, separate reports documented explosions and a substantial fire in the Russian city of Gelendzhik, located in Krasnodar Krai.
These events contribute to a pattern of reported instability across different regions. The consistent nature of the reports suggests sustained activity targeting energy and industrial assets. While the initial focus remains on the damage sustained at the Salavat refinery, the scope of reported incidents indicates a broader pattern of activity across various Russian locations.
Details regarding subsequent events, including those mentioned around September 24, continue to emerge as news coverage develops.
