[CPC Oil Terminal Attacked, Kremlin Avoids Comment on Operations] ⑴ The Russian Ministry of Defense stated on Monday that Ukraine attacked facilities at a maritime transshipment terminal in the port of Novorossiysk overnight, damaging a mooring point of the Caspian Pipeline Union and causing four refined oil storage tanks to catch fire. ⑵ Following Moscow's accusation that Ukraine attacked the oil terminal, the Kremlin on Tuesday forwarded inquiries regarding the terminal's operational status to the operator. ⑶ Kremlin spokesman Peskov told reporters that Kyiv's drones attacked Caspian Pipeline Union infrastructure, adding that similar attacks had occurred previously. ⑷ The terminal is a key transshipment point for Kazakhstan's crude oil exports, and this attack, occurring against the backdrop of ongoing tensions in the Middle East, further exacerbates the pressure on the global energy supply chain.
