Ukrainian forces have carried out a drone attack on a strategically important Russian oil and gas terminal on the Black Sea, causing significant damage to fuel storage and port infrastructure. The incident marks another escalation in Kyiv’s campaign targeting Russia’s energy and logistics assets supporting its military operations.

According to Russian regional authorities, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles struck the terminal during the early hours, triggering fires at fuel storage facilities. Emergency services were deployed to contain the blaze, and operations at the terminal were temporarily disrupted. Officials described the incident as a large-scale aerial attack on critical infrastructure.

Video footage released by Ukrainian sources appears to show drones approaching the facility before explosions ignite large fires, suggesting direct hits on storage tanks or associated infrastructure. While Russian officials acknowledged damage, the full extent of operational impact has not been independently verified.

The targeted terminal plays a vital role in handling crude oil, refined petroleum products, and gas shipments through the Black Sea, making it a key node in Russia’s energy export network. Disruptions at the facility could affect regional fuel logistics and export capacity.

The strike follows a series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy
infrastructure, including refineries, pipelines, and port facilities, as Ukraine seeks to reduce Russia’s ability to finance and sustain its military campaign. The incident underscores growing vulnerabilities in critical maritime and energy assets amid the ongoing conflict.
