What happened in Bashkiria on November 26
In the evening of November 26, local residents heard loud explosions in the Republic of Bashkortostan, which is a subject of the Russian Federation.
This happened in the city of Salavat, which is located 1,200 km from the border of Ukraine.
Initially, the local media began to spread information that the refinery there was being attacked by unknown strike drones.
However, the ASTRA Telegram channel later published an alternative version of the events.
Thus, the administrators of the channel claim that in Salavat "Kukuruznyk" AN-2 flew into a closed area, where it was mistaken for a Ukrainian drone.
After that, the air raid siren was immediately turned on in the city, and the security of the Gazprom refinery opened fire on the Russian plane.
