Perm region Governor Dmitry Makhonin, without naming the facility, confirmed that a fire had broken out as a result of a drone strike. He said workers at the site had been evacuated and that no one was injured.
Unverified reports in Ukrainian media suggested that a Transneft oil pumping station was targeted in the attack.
In a separate strike on the Orenburg region, which borders northern Kazakhstan, a Ukrainian drone reportedly hit the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery located in the city of Orsk, around 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) east of Ukraine.
Orenburg region Governor Yevgeny Solntsev said four drones were intercepted as they tried to target “several industrial sites” but did not provide further details.
Orsknefteorgsintez, which has an annual processing capacity of 6.6 million metric tons of oil, was previously attacked in October and November.
