Massive fire reported at Tuapse seaport after Ukrainian drone attack, one dead (VIDEO)
Ukrainian drones attacked the Russian Black Sea port city of Tuapse in Krasnodar Krai overnight into Monday, triggering a large-scale fire at the seaport and causing casualties, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported.
According to Kondratyev, one man was killed and another injured in the port area.
Drone debris damaged windows in several buildings, including a primary school, a kindergarten, a museum, a church, an apartment building, and a gas pipeline.
Social media footage showed a massive fire in Tuapse, which local sources linked to a strike on the Tuapse oil refinery. The refinery forms a single production complex with the local seaport.
The previous attack on Tuapse occurred on April 16. The Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters fully extinguished the resulting fire only on April 19, involving more than 150 people and 49 pieces of equipment.
