The major fire at the Tuapse oil refinery and marine terminal in Russia continues to burn following a Ukrainian drone attack on April 20. Firefighting efforts are ongoing, with the sustained blaze now causing 'oil rain' and oily residue to fall on residents as heavy smog spreads across the Sochi region, including Armavir and Stavropol. The environmental impact is growing as the fire persists into its second day.
