The footage clearly shows the glow in the sky.

On the night of May 27, drones attacked the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. The port city of Tuapse once again came under attack, writes "Focus".

After a series of explosions in Tuapse, a fire at one of the oil refinery facilities was recorded. It is likely that under the attack of drones this night could be a local oil depot. About it write OSINT-analysts.

"Tuapse 5.0, we confirm the fire at the oil depot," - reported in the network.

Analysts also showed footage of a probable attack on the city this night. They show the sky lighting up, as well as explosions and sounds of air defense forces at work.

It is worth noting that there was no official confirmation of the Tuapse oil depot being hit at the time of publication. Local authorities have not commented on the attacks on the region.

At the same time, late in the evening of May 26, the head of the Tuapse municipal district Sergey Boyko announced an air alert in the area. The official warned of the threat of drone attacks to Tuapse and the surrounding area and urged residents to stay in safe places.

Reminder, it is not the first time that the Russians' oil refining facilities in Tuapse have been subjected to drone attacks. The AFU General Staff reported that in April the Defense Forces' strikes on the city's port infrastructure caused more than $300 million in losses to the Russian Federation.

May 20 journalists visited Tuapse after the drone attacks and found out that experts warn of an ecological disaster, and local pharmacies are selling sorbents and respirators. At the same time, volunteers are being chased off the beaches and banned from filming tanks destroyed by the attacks.

In early May, drones again reached Tuapse, where they struck the seaport and the local oil refinery, after which a fire broke out at the plant.
