Kazakhstan has urged Ukraine to cease attacks on the Black Sea oil terminal of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which was damaged by a Ukrainian drone attack, leading to halted exports and concerns over critical infrastructure security.
Ukraine claimed responsibility for a drone attack on an oil terminal in Russia's Oryol region, causing a fire at a facility linked to the Russian military. The attack targeted a major oil depot in Stalnoy Kon, part of a military industrial complex supplying the Russian army. Russian authorities reported no casualties and said the fire was controlled, though not extinguished. This incident is part of Ukraine's ongoing strategy to target Russian military and energy infrastructure in retaliation for Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
Ukraine reportedly launched a drone attack on an oil terminal in St Petersburg, Russia, hitting targets as part of a "new phase" in the region, according to a Ukrainian military source. This action reflects Kyiv's efforts to strike back at targets deep inside Russia, nearly two years after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. The attack demonstrates Ukraine's attempt to narrow the gap in strike capabilities with Russia, which regularly conducts long-range aerial bombardments of Ukraine.
An explosion at Guinea's main oil terminal in Conakry has resulted in at least eight deaths and numerous injuries, with nearby buildings sustaining damage. The cause of the fire remains unknown, prompting the closure of schools and urging workers to stay home.
