An explosion thundered at the Odessa refinery

August 28 2020

Ukrainian sources publish material that an explosion occurred at one of the industrial enterprises in Odessa. According to the latest information, we are talking about an explosion at the Odessa oil refinery.

Eyewitnesses living in the area called Shkodova Gora write on social networks about a powerful explosion that thundered at the refinery in the dark.

According to the latest reports, the emergency at the facility occurred at about midnight local time. A fire broke out at the refinery, electricity was cut off in the surrounding neighborhoods.

At the moment, it is reported that the epicenter of the explosion, probably, was an electrical substation located on the territory of an oil refinery.

The movement of vehicles on the road adjacent to the refinery was stopped for several hours.

According to some reports, there was a sharp voltage surge in the plant's electrical supply system before the explosion. Official data on the cause of the explosion at the Odessa refinery has not yet been provided.

We will remind that earlier the Odessa oil refinery flashed in reports in connection with attempts to carry out its raider seizure.

If you do not invest in infrastructure and do not repair or replace transformers, then they will fail, and may burst. Judging by the state of infrastructure in Ukraine, this is not surprising.

  but in Russia? MNPZ will regularly fire, and in the morning it floods the streets of the southeast of Moscow with an ammonia-gasoline aroma.

      Or maybe dear Wwk7260, it's just that he lives in the wrong Moscow !!!
      After all, there are at least 25 settlements in the world with the name "Moscow". In Russia - as many as four Moscow, one each in Scotland, Belgium, Canada and India; as many as 19 towns of the same name are located in different states of the United States - from Ohio to Vermont. Maybe just in that "Moscow", which in Vermont and stinks of "ammonia - gasoline aroma" ..... In the morning !?

      In general, Maryino was built on the filtration fields, you can't even smell gasoline there, and if it's seriously Maryino west of the Moscow Refinery, and the main winds from the west to the east, maybe that's why, on the Moscow Ring Road (I'm going from the northeast), the aroma starts to be felt very significantly from the intersection with Volgogradka. on the other hand, if you live nearby, you are most likely used to it.

        It's not otherwise when you go from Kryzhopol to Zhmerinka. There, yes, it stinks of manure all the way.

  withdrawal "provokes" a rapid depreciation of large enterprises. Even this way. Then they will buy it for a pittance. And denyushka will flow 100 pounds to offshore. The tricks of the waltzman will cough for a long time.

  This refinery 7 years ago went through a deep modernization, but practically all this time it did not work due to litigation. So, there is definitely no "deterioration of infrastructure" there. We (in Odessa) believe that there was an attempt to steal non-ferrous metals, but "something went wrong" ((

    Strange coincidence of two events in time
    In the black, oddly enough, Poland, which announced that it would help to compensate Ukraine for the risks of stopping the supply of Belarusian fuels and lubricants

  Well what are you! Karasin from oil and Westinghouse are different things. Karasin burns, and Westinghouse explodes.

Official data on the cause of the explosion at the Odessa refinery has not yet been presented.
Not long before the explosion:

Kuleba:

We put on pause all contacts with Belarus. We are now monitoring the development of the situation.

What a weird coincidence, huh?

It's good that not an ammunition depot.
Otherwise, there would be little left of Odessa.
There and so, every day, the houses are crumbling from decay.

Short circuit of oil transformer. Fire at the substation. It will burn out, sweep and put in a new transformer. Routine.
