An oil refinery in the Russian city of Tuapse has caught fire again following a drone attack.
“In Tuapse, a fire broke out at the refinery due to falling debris from drones. There are no casualties. A total of 122 personnel and 39 pieces of equipment are involved in extinguishing the fire, including units from the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the Krasnodar Territory,” the regional оперативный штаб reported on Tuesday morning.
Drone strikes on the refinery and oil terminal in Tuapse were previously carried out on April 16 and 20, causing major fires. The blazes were extinguished only on April 24. An oil spill also occurred. A total of 4,165 cubic meters of contaminated soil and oil-water mixture were collected. Cleanup of the marine terminal area, the river mouth, and the coastline is ongoing.
