Ukrainian Drone Strikes Prompt Evacuations at Russian Oil Refinery
Authorities in Tuapse, a southern port town in Russia, have ordered evacuations following a Ukrainian drone attack on a Rosneft oil refinery. This marks the third attack on the facility this month, resulting in a large-scale fire. Over 300 emergency personnel have been deployed to manage the situation, and temporary shelters have been set up for displaced residents. The refinery, which processes approximately 12 million metric tons of crude annually, is a significant export route for naphtha, fuel oil, and diesel. The attack is part of a broader Ukrainian strategy to target Russian oil infrastructure, aiming to cut off energy revenues to the Kremlin. The incident occurs amid rising global oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
