""Tuapse came under another massive drone attack," Venyamin Kondratiev, governor of Russia's southern Krasnodar region, said on April 20."
"The refinery, which can process around 240,000 barrels of crude oil per day and supplies products such as fuel oil and diesel, is part of Russia's oil giant Rosneft's export infrastructure."
"Ukraine has stepped up drone attacks on Russian oil facilities in recent weeks, curtailing exports and hampering Moscow's capacity to take advantage of a spike in global energy prices."
"Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine had proposed an energy cease-fire to Russia."
Ukrainian drones targeted the Tuapse Black Sea oil port, resulting in a fire and at least one fatality. This attack follows a similar strike on April 16. The Tuapse oil refinery, operated by Rosneft, is crucial to Russia's oil export infrastructure. Ukraine has intensified drone assaults on Russian oil facilities, impacting exports amid rising global energy prices. Concurrently, Ukrainian special forces disabled two Russian landing ships in Sevastopol Bay and destroyed a Russian radar system during operations on April 20.
