Russian firefighters have escaped from the Kavkazskaya oil transshipment point in the Krasnodar Krai, which is on fire. The facility has been on fire for three days after the drone strike. Last night, a new powerful explosion occurred there.

The corresponding video was published by the Astra Telegram channel. After that, an uncontrolled fire started at the oil transshipment point. Local authorities advised residents not to go outside.

In the video, one of the eyewitnesses or rescuers says that fire equipment and firefighters themselves stopped trying to extinguish the facility in the morning. The Russians are now waiting for all the oil stored there to burn out.
