Ukrainian forces struck a Russian oil refinery in Tuapse for the third time, forcing evacuations near the facility. The refinery caught fire following the attack. Russia's Kremlin accused Ukraine of destabilizing global energy markets through the strike. The attack represents an escalation in Ukraine's campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, which has been a recurring target during the conflict. Russia has not confirmed casualty or damage figures from the strike. The Tuapse refinery is a major facility on Russia's Black Sea coast and plays a significant role in the country's oil processing capacity. Ukraine has conducted multiple drone and missile attacks on Russian refineries and fuel storage sites in recent months, aiming to disrupt Moscow's ability to sustain military operations. The strikes have damaged several major refineries across western Russia. Moscow has responded by increasing drone attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and energy facilities. The broader campaign reflects both sides' focus on degrading the other's economic and military capacity. International energy markets have watched these strikes amid broader concerns about oil supply disruptions.
