Russian oil terminal suspends operations after drone attack
- A major CPC oil terminal in Novorossiysk suspended operations after an overnight drone attack.
- The CPC terminal largely exports Kazakh crude and is a key international energy project.
- The attack came hours after Ukraine-aligned strikes on Black Sea tankers, escalating regional tensions.
- Two tankers, Kairos and Virat, were later reported struck in the Black Sea region.
- The ships involved were on international sanctions lists related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
- Kazakhstan activated plans to redirect oil exports to alternative routes after the CPC incident.
- The CPC terminal's disruption risks global energy security and traders' interests.
- Ukraine claimed involvement using domestically produced Sea Baby drones, per Kyiv officials cited by AP.
- The incident underscores ongoing conflict-related disruption to energy infrastructure in the Black Sea region.
