The sky of the city was covered with smog.
Perm's mayor Eduard Sosnin wished residents "patience" and "faith" after the city was attacked twice by drones, causing oil refineries and Transneft tanks to catch fire, smog to cover the sky and "oil rains," noted The Moscow Times.
Sosnin, who has never commented on the emergency, congratulated Perm residents on May 1 on the "Holiday of Spring and Labor." "On this day I want to wish us all strength, patience and faith. Only together, supporting each other, we will be able to pass through all the trials. We will be united, united and truly strong," Sosnin wrote.
Governor of Perm Krai Dmitri Manokhin said Tuesday that the fire "on the territory of the industrial enterprise" has been localized. Firefighters from three regions - Kirov Oblast, Bashkortostan and Udmurtia - had been transferred to the region to extinguish it.
He assured that there was "no threat to residents" despite the black rain that poured down in the middle of the week" and the smell of burning and smoke. "Samples are taken regularly, no exceedances of pollutants have been recorded," Manokhin said.
Perm was attacked on April 29 and 30. As a result, the Permnefteorgsintez oil refinery, the 7th largest in the country by capacity, caught fire, as well as a Trasneft oil pumping station with a fleet of oil tanks with a total capacity of 380,000 cubic meters. The oil refinery had shut down 40% of its capacity the day before, sources told Reuters.
By Friday, smoke from the fires in Perm stretched 120 kilometers, according to satellite images published by Radio Liberty.
