"Ukraine carried out long-range drone attacks overnight against a key Black Sea oil terminal and a plant making components for explosives located deep inside Russia, a security official told Business Insider on Tuesday. The twin attacks mark Ukraine's latest long-range strikes and come as Kyiv's forces continue to target facilities inside Russia that directly and indirectly help the country sustain its full-scale invasion."
"The attack on the port, the second in less than a month, caused a fire at the facility, the source said, adding that the earlier Ukrainian drone strikes on January 22 damaged several tanks and pipelines at Tamannaftogaz, causing an estimated $50 million in losses. The facility is recognized as an important piece of Russian oil logistics in the Black Sea."
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) executed two long-range drone strikes inside Russia, striking the Tamannaftogaz oil terminal in Krasnodar and a plant producing explosive components. The Tamannaftogaz attack caused a fire and followed a January 22 strike that damaged tanks and pipelines, producing an estimated $50 million in losses. Tamannaftogaz serves as a major Black Sea oil logistics hub. The SBU is systematically targeting Russian energy and export infrastructure to reduce revenue streams that support the war. Since August, Ukraine has intensified strikes on refineries, terminals, tankers, and platforms across the Black, Caspian, and Mediterranean seas.
