Explosions were heard in Novorossiysk on the night of Monday, April 6. The Sheskharis oil terminal was reportedly attacked by long-range drones .
At the same time, power has completely disappeared in temporarily occupied Donetsk and the rest of the occupied territories, Russian media reported.
Attack on Novorossiysk
According to available information, a series of powerful explosions were heard in the port terminal, and secondary detonations and fires are currently continuing there .
It should be noted that the Sheskharis terminal is the largest oil terminal in southern Russia, which is part of the structure of Chornomortransneft JSC (Transneft PJSC). The facility provides reception, storage and export shipment of oil and oil products on tankers.
Information about the consequences of being hit
OSINT analysts from the Cyber Flour project claim that the largest fire was recorded at the first pier of the complex. The second pier also suffered severe damage.
In addition, the SIKN nodes and the shut-off valves of the pipeline system, which control the operation of oil loading berths, are on fire. Analysts emphasize that this is a nodal infrastructure that ensures commercial accounting and distribution of oil flows between berths.
The recorded consequences of the attack mean the actual stoppage of shipments from the terminal.
Blackout in Donetsk
Temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine were also attacked. In particular, in the occupied Donetsk region, there were massive power outages in Donetsk, Mariupol, Makiivka, and neighboring cities.
The region is reportedly experiencing power and water supply disruptions due to a UAV attack on the Starobeshivska TPP, controlled by “DPR” militants.
In particular, there are reports of power outages in the temporarily Russian-controlled territories of Zaporizhia, Kherson, and Luhansk regions.
As a reminder, on the night of April 5, numerous explosions were heard in the Nizhny Novgorod region of the Russian Federation after an airstrike was declared. Ukrainian drones attacked the Lukoil-Nizhny Novgorodnefteorgsintez oil refinery in the city of Kstovo.
It was previously reported that powerful explosions erupted in the Russian city of Togliatti. There, Ukrainian drones attacked the Togliattikauchuk chemical plant. According to preliminary information, the plant was hit by An-196 “Feb” drones.
As OBOZ.UA reported, for the second time since the beginning of the month, Ukrainian troops have struck the Alchevsk Metallurgical Plant in Luhansk Oblast. The enemy target was attacked by FP-2 drones from Fire Point.
Forget wobbly, ineffective, and insufficient Western sanctions. Mafia land’s oil export and production capacities are being made to go offline solely through Ukrainian-type sanctions.
Outstanding!!!🇺🇦💪
