The fire can be seen from space.
In Russia's Tatarstan, a massive fire that broke out as a result of a UAV attack on the Kaleikino oil pumping station (OPS) is still burning.
About this on Tuesday, February 24, Radio Liberty writes, publishing a satellite image that was taken today.
This oil refinery is a key hub for transporting Russian oil, including to Europe via the Druzhba pipeline, the journalists said.
Smoke from one of the burning barrels stretched as far as Neftekamsk, which is about 170 kilometers, Ukrainian Telegram channels noted.
The description of another image notes that "the area of the fire is hard to imagine."
