Drone attack halts Russian key port exports, oil refinery halts crude oil processing

As a result of the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian infrastructure, the Black Sea port of Tuapse stopped exports, and the oil refinery stopped processing crude oil.

This was reported by Reuters, citing sources.

As noted, Russia has confirmed a strike on one of the key Russian ports on the Black Sea, which caused a fire.

According to the news agency’s interlocutors, the next day, after the port infrastructure was damaged, the Rosneft-controlled plant stopped refining oil.

This refinery supplied products to a number of countries, including China, Malaysia, Singapore and Turkey. Its capacity is 240,000 barrels of oil per day.

It was previously expected that the port of Tuapse would increase exports of petroleum products during November.

It is worth noting that at the time of the attack, three tankers were in the port loading oil, diesel fuel, and fuel oil. However, all of them have now been relocated.

It was previously reported that on the night of Sunday, November 2, drones attacked the city of Tuapse in the Krasnodar Territory in Russia, causing a fire at an oil terminal and a tanker in the port.
