The Russians barely managed to put out the fire from the previous attack.

On the night of April 28, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out a second attack on the Tuapse oil refinery in the Krasnodar Territory – just 4 days after extinguishing the fire from the previous attack. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine . 

It is noted that this attack is taking place as part of reducing the military-economic potential of the Russian aggressor, because this enterprise is involved in providing supplies to the Russian occupation army on the territory of Ukraine.

“A strike by UAVs on the territory of the facility was recorded, followed by a fire. The scale of the damage caused is being clarified,” the General Staff emphasizes. 

The Governor of the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation , Veniamin Kondratyev, noted on his official Telegram channel that there is “another serious emergency” in Tuapse – a large-scale fire at the refinery due to a drone attack. He noted that 164 people and 46 pieces of equipment were involved in extinguishing the fire in the morning, but promised that more help would be sent.

also reported that residents living in houses near the refinery would be evacuated.

    • As long as we’re targeting those Fluid Catalytic Cracking Units, they are considered the hearts of the refineries and from Switzerland and USA. That’s from Konstantine, not me, I’m not that smart 😉

  1. This means that Ukraine can move on to the next one and destroy it too. Then the next one, and the next, and so on.
