A regional-level emergency regime has been introduced in the Tuapse District
On the territory of the Tuapse Municipal District, a regional-level emergency regime has been introduced since April 28, reports the operational headquarters.
As a result of the fire, some of the burning oil products leaked onto the road. The ASTRA Telegram channel, based on eyewitness videos, determined that oil products spilled along Koshkina Street from the Tuapse Oil Refinery. The fuel probably leaked from tanks attacked at night, which are usually used for heavy oil fractions, ASTRA believes.
252 people and 62 pieces of equipment are involved in extinguishing the fire.
There are water shortages in Tuapse. Rospotrebnadzor specialists recommended that residents not go outside unless absolutely necessary.
The head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Alexander Kurenkov, arrived in the Krasnodar region “to control the extinguishing of a large fire at the Tuapse oil refinery,” TASS reports . Previously, President Vladimir Putin instructed him to fly to the city.
According to Putin, the governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Veniamin Kondratyev, reported that there were no serious threats in the city.
“It seems like there are no serious threats and people are coping with the challenges they face on the spot,” Putin said .
A fire broke out at the Tuas oil refinery after a night attack by Ukrainian drones. Satellite images show that the fire engulfed four of the largest oil tanks.
