Share: On the night of November 2, drones attacked the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation, where the city of Tuapse was under attack. As a result of the attack, a fire broke out in the local seaport. Damage to port infrastructure facilities was also recorded due to drone attacks. This was reported by the Russian publication "Izvestia" with reference to the official statement of the local authorities.

The Russians claim that the fire started as a result of the alleged fall of debris from a downed drone. "As a result of the fall of an unmanned aerial vehicle in Tuapse, damage to the port infrastructure with subsequent ignition was recorded, the operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region reported," the media reported. According to preliminary information from OSINT channels, in Tuapse, drones attacked Berth 1 of the Tuapse Oil Terminal (or "Rosnefta Deepwater Berth").

As the OSINT channel "KyberBoroshno" writes, in Tuapse "a deep-sea pier, put into operation in 2013, with the possibility of transshipment of up to approximately 7 million tons per year, receiving vessels up to 250 m long and with a draft of up to 15 m" was affected. The hit, according to analysts, fell on the central freight overpass, which is considered a key hub for transshipment of oil. The network also showed footage of the consequences of the drone attack on Tuapse.

Subsequently, the OSINT channel "KyberBoroshno" reported that the second attack in Tuapse had previously hit an oil and fuel pier. Officially, at the time of publication, the Russian authorities did not confirm the attack on the oil terminal in the port of Tuapse. According to the preliminary data of the Russians, there were no data on the victims.
