US EditionRussia Black Sea Oil Ports Pause Loadings After Drone Alerts
Operations at two key terminals paused after drone alerts amid Ukraine's intensified attacks, disrupting over 2 million barrels per day of Russian oil exports, officials said.
- On September 24, Russia temporarily suspended activity at two key oil export terminals near Novorossiysk—the Caspian Pipeline Consortium facility and the Sheskharis depot—following drone alerts that prompted precautionary measures.
- This stoppage followed Ukraine's intensified drone campaign since August targeting refineries, depots, and ports to disrupt Russia's oil export logistics and revenue.
- The terminals collectively move over two million barrels daily, transporting essential Russian Urals and Kazakh crude vital to global energy supplies, and the temporary suspension briefly disrupted tanker shipments and caused damage to local CPC offices.
- A CPC spokesman described the suspension as a standard safety protocol during alerts, noting that such disruptions may cause large-scale environmental consequences and interrupt vital exports.
- Operations resumed shortly after the alert ended on September 25, signaling Moscow's efforts to maintain oil flows despite escalating Ukrainian strikes and highlighting the vulnerability of key export hubs.
