Ukraine hits Russia’s Tuapse oil refinery for a third time, causing new blaze and evacuation

Ukrainian drones have struck the Tuapse oil refinery on Russia’s Black Sea coast, triggering a fire and prompting evacuations, according to Russian authorities. The refinery, operated by Rosneft, has been targeted repeatedly, with strikes on April 16 and April 20 damaging port infrastructure and destroying dozens of storage tanks.
Ukraine said the latest overnight attack — carried out by its unmanned systems and special forces — is part of a broader campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, with damage still being assessed.
Kyiv has intensified such strikes since mid-March, linking them to US sanctions waivers on Russian oil introduced during tensions involving Iran. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised the extension of those waivers until mid-May, signalling attacks could scale down if restrictions are reinstated.
Separately, Ukraine is threatening sanctions against Israel over shipments it says contain grain taken from Russian-occupied territories. Kyiv has summoned Israel’s ambassador, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha criticising the response, while Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa'ar rejected the allegations, saying evidence has not been provided.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine is preparing sanctions targeting those involved in transporting the grain, in coordination with European partners, marking a potential shift in relations between Kyiv and Tel Aviv.
