Russia: Drone attack causes fire at Tuapse refinery

Source: Reuters

“A Ukrainian drone attack has caused a ‘large-scale fire’ at Russia’s Tuapse oil refinery on the Black Sea, forcing ​the evacuation of nearby buildings, local officials said on Tuesday. The Rosneft-owned ​refinery delivers oil products mainly for exports but operations ⁠have been halted since April 16 following an earlier drone attack, industry ​sources said. Ukraine did not immediately comment on the reports. Kyiv has stepped ​up strikes on Russia since March, with U.S.-brokered talks on the war in Ukraine on pause and Washington mainly focusing on the Iran war.” (04/28/26)
