Ukrainian Naval Drones Attack Oil Export Infrastructure in Russia’s Tuapse

Ukrainian naval drones attacked Russian oil export infrastructure in the Black Sea port of Tuapse for the first time.

According to the Bloomberg, Russian ports suspended oil shipments after receiving a warning about a drone attack.

CyberBoroshno’s OSINT analysts reviewed video footage of the strike on Tuapse.

They concluded that one of the oil-loading piers in the port was hit. The video shows the moment of impact as the drone exploded on contact with the structure.

The port of Tuapse is one of the main facilities for oil exports from southern Russia. Damage there could disrupt supply logistics and increase risks for maritime transport in the region.

Earlier today, strike drones also targeted an oil refinery in the city of Salavat, about 1,400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

The refinery, part of Gazprom, is the largest oil-processing plant in southern Bashkortostan.
