The fire caused by the drone strike is the third in Tuapse since April 16

The fire following the drone attack in Tuapse is the third in the past two weeks. On the night of April 20, a drone attack at an oil terminal in the port of Tuapse caused a fire that was extinguished only on April 24. Residents reported that "an oil rain" fell on the city. The fire at the marine terminal is dangerous due to the release of combustion products, which are carcinogenic and toxic. The "oil rain" reduced the level of harmful substances in the air, but led to soil contamination, environmentalists emphasized.

On the night of April 16, a drone attack in Tuapse killed a 14-year-old girl and an adult woman, and injured seven others. Sixty residential buildings and three public facilities were damaged, and five private homes were completely destroyed. A fire also broke out at the seaport; it was extinguished on April 19. Residents of Tuapse reported that after the attack, "the entire sky was covered in smoke," and the smell of burning was felt throughout the city throughout the day.

Furthermore, on April 24, after booms broke due to rising water levels in the river An oil spill occurred in Tuapse, spilling into the Black Sea. Authorities declared the spill "local," but the oil spread to nearby villages. Fuel oil has spread over a large area, and it is being cleaned up mainly by volunteers, local residents told the "Caucasian Knot" on April 26.

The oil spill that entered the Black Sea after the drone attack in Tuapse is expanding, and the environmental outlook for the coast is not bright, as are the prospects for the resort season, scientists noted.

Materials on the consequences of the fuel oil spills in the Kerch Strait and Tuapse have been collected by the "Caucasian Knot" on the page "Eco-disaster in Kuban".
