An expanding oil slick from the damaged Tuapse refinery has washed up along the coast via the Tuapse River.
Reuters reports that oil storage capacity in the UAE's critical port of Fujairah has fallen to 7 million barrels, its lowest level in at least nine years, indicating a ripple effect from the Russian supply shock.
New reports confirm crude oil continues to rain on Tuapse for a third consecutive day, extending the hazardous fallout from the refinery fire.
