An OSINT analyst for the outlet Astra, reviewing photos and videos, determined that two columns of black smoke were rising over the Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim oil refinery. Monitoring channels published photos and videos of several fires in the city's industrial zone, according to Current Time.
Bashkortostan's head, Radiy Khabirov, said the attack was repelled and that smoke appeared in the industrial zone due to debris falling from a downed drone. He reported no deaths or injuries.
The outlet Aspekty reported that the fires were in the northern industrial zone. Around 10:30 a.m. local time, loud bangs were heard over the refineries and plumes of smoke appeared.
A drone danger alert was declared in Bashkortostan at 9:35 a.m. local time. At the same time, Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) announced the closure of Ufa's airport.
