In Russia’s Tuapse, drones attacked the port and an oil refinery overnight, sparking fires, local officials wrote on Dec. 31.
UAV attack damaged one of the piers at the port of Tuapse and equipment at a local oil refinery. Fires broke out at the strike sites.
“A fire at one of the piers was promptly extinguished," the statement said.
"The fire at the refinery site was also put out, covering an area of about 300 square meters.”
