Kyiv • UNN
SBU drones struck the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal, damaging tanks and pipelines. This led to an oil spill, a large-scale fire, and damages amounting to $50 million.
SBU drones attacked the infrastructure of the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. According to UNN sources in the SBU, a number of tanks with vacuum gas oil and fuel oil tanks were damaged, which led to an oil spill and a large-scale fire.
Drones of the SBU's "Alpha" Special Operations Center attacked the infrastructure of the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. This port is one of the largest in the Black Sea region and provides transshipment of oil, gas, and ammonia. Its tank farm for storing petroleum products and liquefied gas amounts to more than 1 million cubic meters.

According to the UNN interlocutor, as a result of the attack, technological pipelines at the berths were damaged. A number of tanks with vacuum gas oil and fuel oil tanks were also damaged. Damage to shut-off valves was recorded in them, which led to a leak of petroleum products with subsequent ignition. The total area of the fire was about 7 thousand m².
The estimated damage, according to preliminary estimates, is about 50 million US dollars.
The SBU continues to systematically strike at key energy and export arteries of the Russian Federation, which provide funds to the aggressor country's budget and directly finance the war against Ukraine. The defeat of such facilities is critical for weakening the enemy's economic and logistical capabilities.
