Ukraine Strikes Caucasus Oil Terminal, Igniting Fire at Grushovaya Depot

Ukraine hit the Grushovaya oil depot near Novorossiysk, part of the Sheskharis export complex, sparking a major fire at Russia’s largest Caucasus oil storage hub. The terminal can hold about 1.4 million cubic meters and normally processes around 700,000 barrels per day, supplying roughly 20% of Russia’s seaborne crude exports. Kyiv said it also targeted a Krasny Yar pumping station and other facilities, as part of a broader effort to disrupt fuel exports and funding for Moscow’s war.
