Flames rose at the Markovskoye condensate treatment unit in east Siberia At least seven people were injured at the blast in the Ust-Kut district at Angarsk It was in the same region as a blast 3 days earlier with the force of a 'plane crash'

A new explosion and inferno has hit a strategic Russian oil and gas field amid suspicions key facilities are being targeted in sabotage attacks linked to Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

Armageddon-like flames shot into the sky from the giant blaze at the Markovskoye condensate treatment unit in the biting minus 22C cold.

Dramatic footage shows the scene from hell caused by the 'jet fire' in the east Siberian district of Ust-Kut, Irkutsk region.

At least seven people suffered injuries in the blast at Angarsk which was in the same region as a blast three days earlier that was compared to an earthquake or plane crash for its force.

A breathless worker at the Ust-Kut is heard on a video saying: 'Vanya we are f*****, the plant exploded.

'They told us to evacuate.

'And as we started fleeing, it exploded.'

The Russian authorities rushed out a statement to declare that the blaze was under control, even though it was clearly still burning in the remote region.

Hmmmmm.....classic strategy. Cut off the supply lines. If you cannot do that, cut, destroy the necessary fuel. No doubt the Chicoms will offer assistance. The Obama / Biden Regime will announce they are ‘monitoring’ the situation (democRAT speak for ‘how much more $$$ can we get out of this latest development/crisis?) Hunter Biden will be dispatched to his Chicom buddies, who have already forked over billions to make sure Obama / Biden address the Chicoms desires.

They were warned to get out? Doesn’t sound like a missile attack. Sabotage by a superior who thought to save his workers? Or perhaps just an industrial accident that set things in motion.

Yeah, that’s it, industrial accident.

Where was OSHA in this whole episode?

Or doesn’t the Russian Federation have any agency like OSHA?

Accidents waiting to happen.

Oh, hell, it really was sabotage.

Like those Iranian nuclear setbacks, these people have got to be more careful.

Careless errors are dangerous.😇
