Overview
- The Tuapse refinery's tank farm, which Ukraine said was hit early Monday, erupted in a fire after drones struck the site, and the Krasnodar governor reported one dead and one injured.
- Video from the scene showed several storage tanks burning at the reservoir park, with firefighting under way and the full extent of damage still unclear.
- Ukraine's drone forces chief Robert “Madyar” Brovdi said his Ptakhy Madyara deep‑strike unit worked with special operations troops and military intelligence to carry out the Tuapse strike.
- The General Staff said the same operation hit the Gvardijska oil base in occupied Crimea and two large Russian landing ships in Sevastopol, with the level of damage under assessment.
- Officials also reported strikes on ammunition depots in Urzuf and Loknya, a drone warehouse near Nova Karakuba, and a command post near Blahodatne, and noted that Tuapse is part of Rosneft, a site Ukraine has targeted before to limit fuel for Russian forces.
