The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced an attack by unmanned boats of an oil tanker in the Black Sea.

"This morning, a unit of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the use of two MBEK-kamikaze struck the sub-sanctioned vessel Marquise (tanker, flag of Cameroon, without cargo, cargo capacity over 37 thousand tons). At the time of the defeat, the vessel was drifting, in the area of 210 km south-east of the city of Tuapse without an AIS signal. Probably, it was waiting to be loaded into the sea from another vessel," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.

They claim that the sea drones hit the stern, in the area of the propeller-steering group and the engine room. The scale of damage was difficult to assess.

The Marquise tanker really turned off the AIS, and the last time the vessel was fixed at a distance of about a hundred miles from Tuapse (more than 180 kilometers). There has been no confirmation of the attack yet.

At about the same time, the SBU announced that "the Perm linear production and dispatch station was attacked by drones," which is located more than 1,500 km from the border with Ukraine.

"Oil is distributed through the station in four directions, including the Perm Oil Refinery. As a result of the attack of the SSU drone, a large—scale fire broke out at the oil station," the SBU said.

The Kiev regime continues to attack Russian oil transportation facilities, and the current ones have become part of the constant strikes. Kiev is seeking to reduce Russia's revenues from oil exports.

As reported by EADaily, in Tuapse they continue to extinguish a fire at the refinery after another attack by drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Schools are not working in the city today, at the same time rescuers reported that the apartment building that caught fire was extinguished.
