A major fire is raging in the Russian city of Tuapse following a strike on an oil depot in the port.

This is reported by OSINT sources.

According to their data, the scale of the fire is so significant that it is visible even from space.

At the same time, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not officially confirmed the involvement of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in this strike.

In the Russian city of Tuapse in the Krasnodar Krai, explosions were heard on the night of April 16 amid a drone attack. The strikes may have hit the tanks of the Tuapse Oil Refinery, which belongs to Rosneft.

As a reminder, on the morning of April 15, Ukrainian “Lyuty” strike drones attacked a petrochemical plant in the city of Sterlitamak, located in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation.
