A Russian helicopter dumped flame-retarding chemicals to combat a fire at the Almetyevsky oil pumping station near Kaleikino village in Tatarstan, as shown in a video posted on X by raging545 during the 29-minute reporting window from 9:16:28 PM to 9:46:03 PM UTC on February 25, 2026. The facility, burning for three days after being hit yesterday, remained ablaze this evening, according to the source. An image shared a short while ago by raging545 confirmed the Almetyevsky oil pumping station near Kaleikino still burning this evening, highlighting ongoing fire suppression efforts amid the three-day blaze triggered by yesterday's strike. The incident at the Tatarstan facility follows previous reports of Ukrainian strike UAV activity, including approximately 120 drones detected over Russian territory as noted by DroneBomber citing Russian resources in the prior window ending at 9:16 PM UTC, and detections in Valuysky District reported by Lpr 1 earlier on February 25.
