History of incidents in the settlement

This is far from the first such incident for Afipsky. The settlement, located near Krasnodar, has repeatedly found itself in the zone of drone attacks. Previous raids damaged not only industrial facilities but also residential houses. The consequences were especially serious in June. At that time, as Life.ru reported, a state of emergency had to be declared in Afipsky after a drone attack. Drone debris fell on the territory of the oil refinery and at several addresses in the private housing sector. At one property, an outbuilding caught fire, and in another house the blast wave shattered windows. In addition, a gas pipeline was damaged. Thirty-four personnel and 12 units of equipment were dispatched to extinguish the fire at the refinery, and local authorities organized inspections of houses and assistance to residents in clearing debris from their yards. After the incident, special commissions began assessing the damage to determine the scope of the necessary restoration work.
