Russia redirects oil flows after terminal damage

Russia has redirected oil flows to the Tuapse refinery following drone strikes that damaged the Novorossiysk Sheskharis terminal. The attack disabled two main berths at the terminal, which handles approximately 14% of Russia's oil exports, forcing partial operations through a secondary pier. Refining volumes in Tuapse have increased as Russia adapts to the disruption. The incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in Russia's critical energy infrastructure amid the conflict with Ukraine.
