What happened before?
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the "Grushovaya" oil depot in the Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation, located near the village of Grushovaya Balka, had been struck.
The oil depot is part of the "Sheskharis" transshipment complex—the terminus of the main oil pipelines in southern Russia.
The facility handles the receipt, accumulation, storage, and transshipment of crude oil and petroleum products through the seaport of Novorossiysk. The total capacity of the complex’s tank farm is approximately 1.4 million cubic meters, with the Grushovaya site bearing the bulk of the storage load.
