A Ukrainian drone strike hit the Tuapse oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai on the night of April 28, igniting two to three previously undamaged storage tanks and threatening a gas turbine unit and nearby gas station. Residents near the refinery are being evacuated, and authorities urged city residents to stay indoors with masks. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the attack as part of efforts to weaken Russia's military-economic potential. Smoke from the fire was visible as far as the Krasnaya Polyana resort. The fire follows previous strikes on the refinery earlier in April.
