Russia's Tuapse oil refinery hit by drone attack
The Tuapse oil refinery in Russia, located on the Black Sea coast, was targeted in a drone attack, resulting in a fire and oil spill in the area. The fire, which took several days to extinguish, occurred amid increased attacks on Russian facilities by Ukraine since March, coinciding with a halt in U.S.-mediated peace talks. Following the drone strike on April 16, the refinery temporarily suspended its operations. The Tuapse facility has an annual capacity of approximately 12 million tons, producing products such as oil, diesel fuel, and vacuum gas oil.
