Ukrainian forces have conducted another drone strike on Russia's Tuapse oil refinery on the Black Sea coast, marking the second attack on the site in four days. The Tuapse port is a key hub for Russia's energy exports. Footage from the morning of April 19 shows the facility continuing to burn, with evidence of nearly ten separate impact points indicating the local air defense was either saturated or too thin to repel the attack. The strike continues a Ukrainian campaign targeting Russian energy infrastructure deep behind the front lines.
