In the Russian city of Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai of the aggressor country, a fire is raging again on the night of May 1. The marine terminal of the local oil refinery was subjected to another attack by Ukrainian drones, as a result of which a fire broke out on the territory of the facility.
The explosions and fire in Tuapse were confirmed by local authorities, and the so-called “operations headquarters” clarified that the refinery in the city was attacked by drones. In turn, the Osint communities Exilenova+ and Supernova+ collected videos that the Russian regime prohibits making.
Local authorities claim that 128 people and 41 pieces of equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire at the terminal.
Thus, this is the fourth drone attack on the Tuapse refinery and sea terminal in the last two weeks.
What preceded
For the first time this year, Tuapse reported explosions on April 16. As it later turned out, it was Deep-strike units of the Special Operations Forces that struck several facilities at the refinery and oil terminal.
The second attack, which ended with the destruction of 24 and damage to four tanks of the Tuapse Oil Refinery, took place on April 20.
On the night of April 28, Ukrainian drones attacked a marine terminal and oil refinery in Tuapse, Russia, for the third time. After the strike, burning petroleum products flowed through the streets of the city, causing the fire to spread quickly and cause significant damage.
The oil slick that emerged after all these events is now moving across the Black Sea. Its edge recently appeared 30 km from the palace of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin.
It seems that Tuapse wasn’t dead enough.
