Unmanned systems forces, in coordination with Special Operations Forces and Defense Intelligence, conducted an attack on the Russian Tamanneftegaz oil and petroleum products export terminal in Krasnodar Krai.
The 1st Separate Center of the USF reported this news.
According to the report, a series of explosions were recorded during the strike on the night of February 15. The extent of the damage is still being assessed. Local authorities confirmed the strike on the morning of the same day.
Official sources said one of the tanks containing oil products caught fire. Russian authorities claimed the fire was caused by falling debris rather than a direct hit.
Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said that, in addition to the tanks, storage facilities, and elements of the terminal infrastructure were damaged.
Tamanneftegaz is one of Russia’s key export terminals, located near the port of Taman. The facility handles the transshipment of oil, petroleum products, and liquefied hydrocarbon gases from tank farms for onward shipment by sea.
The terminal is a critical component of Russia’s oil export infrastructure and also supports the logistical capabilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Its proximity to the Crimean Bridge and temporarily occupied Crimea further underscores its importance for the logistical support of Russian forces in the Black Sea.
Available data indicate the terminal’s design capacity is around 19.9 million tons of oil and petroleum products per year.
The facility’s tank farm, used to store oil products and liquefied gas, has a total capacity exceeding 1 million cubic meters.
This is not the first attack on the facility. On January 21, four oil storage tanks caught fire following a prior strike.
Two months earlier, on the night of December 21-22, 2025, the port of Taman was also hit by drones.
