Preliminary reports indicate drones attacked a tank farm near the ELOU-AVT-12 unit.

There are no official statements regarding the attack.

Local residents reported that over 10 loud explosions rang out in the sky over Tuapse, after which "a fire started in one of the districts at the drone debris crash site, with fire and smoke visible." The drones were flying from the direction of the sea at a low altitude, it was noted.

Drones massively attacked Tuapse seaport on the night of April 20. Media reported about 10 burning points after the hits.

Ukrainian General Staff confirmed that Defense Forces units struck a number of important Russian targets, including Tuapse refinery, on the same day. A hit on the tank farm with a later fire on the facility's territory was recorded.

Russian media wrote that it rained oil in Tuapse after the drone attack on the refinery.

Tuapse oil refinery is part of the Rosneft company and operates under the management of RN-Tuapse Refinery LLC. It is one of Russia's largest oil refineries specializing in primary oil refining.
