The Security Service of Ukraine, together with other defense and security forces, carried out a strike on an oil terminal in the Russian port of Tuapse, Krasnodar region. As a result of the drone attack, a tanker and port infrastructure were hit, according to sources.
According to the sources, drones of the Alpha Special Operations Center carried out five precise strikes on terminal facilities. The hits set a tanker on fire, while at least four oil loading stands used for loading and unloading vessels were disabled. Several port infrastructure buildings were also damaged.
The port of Tuapse houses an oil terminal and an oil refinery owned by the Russian company Rosneft.
"The Security Service continues to strike Russia’s oil refining infrastructure that provides the enemy with resources for its aggression against Ukraine. As long as the war continues, ‘cotton’ at Russian refineries will keep burning brightly," the source said.
It is worth noting that on the night of November 2, unknown drones once again launched a massive attack on Russia. Residents in several regions of the Russian Federation reported hearing drones and explosions.
Later, reports emerged that electrical substations across Russia had come under attack.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that the Security Service of Ukraine carried out a series of precise overnight strikes on warehouses and bases of Russian occupation forces in the temporarily occupied territories. The operation was conducted by special forces of the Alpha unit, using FP-2 drones equipped with 105-kilogram warheads.
