According to reports coming from Syria, severe fires broke out at a number of oil refining facilities near the city of Al-Bab, which are under the control of pro-Turkish militants.
According to available information, the cause of the fires was the use of tactical missile systems "Tochka-U", which, as is known, are in service with the Syrian government forces.
Photos of the tail section of such a rocket and burning buildings appeared on the Network.
According to some reports, this weapon has not been used in this hot spot for a long time.
Experts suggest that the central authorities decided to put an end to illegal operations with petroleum products, deciding to use one of the most powerful and at the same time accurate means of destruction, which are these systems of Russian production.
The mass of their warhead is approaching 480 kg. The missiles can hit targets at a distance of up to 120 km.
