DIU naval drones attacked the ports of Tuapse and Novorossiysk — sources
According to a military intelligence source, the drone attack paralyzed the operation of the Transneft oil tanker complex and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, located near Novorossiysk.
It is there that the Russians load their tankers with oil, including those that are part of the so-called "shadow fleet."
The Russian Defense Ministry also used naval drones to strike and blow up the oil loading pier of one of the largest terminals in the Russian Federation in the port of Tuapse.
The sources added that the specified Russian oil transshipment points are collectively capable of exporting 2 million barrels of crude oil per day.
The attack on Russian oil export facilities, which fuels the war against Ukraine, also "once again demonstrated the crookedness of the Russian group assigned to guard the Black Sea ports. The chaotic and inaccurate fire of the Russian military caused the destruction of residential buildings, destroyed several cars, and caused panic among the population in Novorossiysk, Tuapse, and also in Sochi, located several dozen kilometers from the site of the attack, where an emergency evacuation from the beaches was announced.
