Details: The source said the strikes damaged equipment at the oil loading terminal, the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pier and port infrastructure, triggering a large-scale fire.

DIU's source stressed that military intelligence is stepping up strike pressure on the Russian energy sector, which is directly involved in financing the war against Ukraine.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed the strike on the terminal. It reports that a pipeline, two piers and two vessels were damaged, while fires broke out over an area of more than 1,000 sq m, affecting at least one vessel. In addition, a fire erupted in the tank farm area.

For reference: The Taman transshipment complex, operated by Tamanneftegaz, is one of the largest in the Black Sea region. The total capacity of its storage facilities for oil products and liquefied gas exceeds 1 million cubic metres.
