Drones launched by the HUR (Ukrainian military intelligence) hit the oil terminal and port at Tuapse in Krasnodar Krai on the territory of the Russian terrorist state. The attack caused a fire and damaged oil refining equipment."

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Michael MacKay, a pro-Ukraine user, wrote

The port processes significant volumes of coal, mineral fertilizers, metal products and grain. It is a logistics hub, which is connected to the railway network, which allows transporting cargo from the central and southern regions of the Russian Federation. The port plays an important role in supporting military logistics. It is used to transport equipment, ammunition and fuel for military needs. It provides logistical support for the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, in particular those involved in the war against Ukraine."
