The Main Intelligence Directorate (known as GUR) and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBSU) attacked the Tuapse marine oil terminal and the Tuapse Oil Refinery in the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation.
This was reported to Babel by intelligence sources.
The military struck the AVT-12 primary oil processing unit of the Tuapse Refinery, as well as the transport pipelines and equipment of the marine oil terminal.
