A Ukrainian attack set ablaze a gasoline tank at Russia’s Tuapse oil complex on the shores of the Black Sea, Veniamin Kondratiev, the governor of the Krasnodar region, said on Friday, while no one was hurt, APA reports citing Al Arabiya.
As many as 121 firefighters were battling to put out the flames, Kondratiev added, without saying if the refinery was hit by a drone or missile.
In recent months, Ukraine has stepped up reciprocal drone attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure.
The export-oriented Tuapse plant, which has processing capacity of 240,000 barrels per day (bpd) of oil, produces naphtha, fuel oil, vacuum gasoil, and high-sulfur diesel, mainly supplying China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Türkiye.
