BREAKING NEWS: GUR drones paralyzed the work of oil terminals in Tuapse and Novorossiysk, – sources

The work of the Transneft oil loading complex and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal has been paralyzed.

On September 24, naval strike drones of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine attacked logistics facilities of the aggressor state of Russia on the Black Sea coast – the ports in Novorossiysk and Tuapse.

As sources in the Ukrainian special services told UNIAN, as a result of the GUR operation, the work of the Transneft oil loading complex and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, located near Novorossiysk, where the Russians loaded their tankers with oil – including from the so-called shadow fleet, was paralyzed.

These Russian oil transshipment points are capable of exporting 2 million barrels of crude oil per day in total.

Also, according to the interlocutor, GUR naval drones blew up the oil loading pier of one of the largest terminals of the aggressor state Russia in the port of Tuapse.

It is noted that the attack on Russian oil export facilities, which fuels the criminal war against Ukraine, also “once again demonstrated the crookedness of the Russian group assigned to guard the Black Sea ports.”Read also:

“The chaotic and inaccurate fire of the Russian military caused the destruction of residential buildings, destroyed several cars, and caused panic among the population in Novorossiysk, Tuapse, and also in Sochi, located several dozen kilometers from the site of the attack, where local leaders announced an emergency evacuation from the beaches,” an informed source noted.

Other attacks on Russian oil facilities

As UNIAN reported, the day before, SBU drones flew to Bashkortostan for the second time in the last seven days and hit the Gazprom Neftekhim-Salavat oil refining complex. This is one of the largest oil refining and petrochemical plants in the Russian Federation. It produces 150 types of products: motor gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, bitumen, polyethylene. The distance from the territory of Ukraine to the target is about 1,400 kilometers.

As a result of several hits by drones of the Central Operational Command “A” of the SBU, a fire broke out on the territory of the plant: a huge column of black smoke rose into the air.
