Warehouse 671 is a strategic petroleum warehouse under the Department of Petroleum, General Department of Logistics and Technology. Due to the impact of storm No. 11, the unit experienced heavy to very heavy rain lasting for many hours, causing local flooding in some areas around the warehouse and its sub-warehouses. The road to the warehouse command post was deeply flooded, making travel difficult; some traffic routes in the area were temporarily cut off, affecting the mobilization of forces and vehicles to carry out the mission.
