The Tuapse oil refinery in Russia, which operates primarily for export, has almost completely ceased operations after a drone attack on April 16. This was reported by Reuters, citing sources, writes UNN.
Details
According to Russian officials, attacks on April 16 and 20 on the city of Tuapse on the Black Sea coast damaged the port's transport infrastructure and caused a fire at oil product warehouses.
The publication's interlocutors noted that the plant was stopped because the fire in the port made it impossible to ship products. They did not specify when operations could resume.
