Fire Break Out at Russia's Tyumen Oil Refinery


(MENAFN) A fire broke out Saturday morning at the Tyumen Oil Refinery in Russia, rapidly spreading across 100 square meters (1,076 square feet) before being classified as a "high-risk fire," local authorities confirmed.

According to the regional government information center, the blaze originated in one of the purification system units at the facility following a violation of the technological process.

Authorities moved swiftly to quash circulating reports attributing the fire to a drone strike.
