Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, RF. Either a UAV or missile attack.
As a result of the attack on the oil complex at 03:07 Moscow time, one of the gasoline tanks caught fire, which covered about 1250 m2, and took 188 people and 55 pieces of equipment to extinguish. The fire was localized in more than a day and completely extinguished on 17.03.
There are different versions as to which particular tank caught fire.
According to one, it was the tank farm of Rosneft Tuapse refinery that was damaged, while another claimed that the fire engulfed a tank of the RN-Morskoy Terminal Tuapse oil products transshipment terminal, located in close proximity to the Tuapse refinery. Rospotrebnadzor's Krasnodar Oblast office reported that the maximum carbon monoxide limits had been exceeded due to the fire. Given the severity of the attack, there were speculations that it could have been a missile one.

Kavkazskaya oil refinery, and Naftatrans oil depot, which provides transshipment of oil from railroad tanks to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC).
Kavskazskaya stanitsa, Krasnodar Krai, RF. Attack by 3-5 UAVs.
As a result of the night drone strike — according to the Russian version, a downed drone debris — a fire broke out at the oil depot. The pipeline between the tanks was damaged, the depot’s operation shut down and staff evacuated. The pipeline caught fire, shut-off valves burned, and two tanks with oil products completely destroyed. The fire lasted six days.
On March 24, the CPC announced that the attack had totally destroyed the Kavkazskaya refinery, making oil pumping through it impossible.
The course of the fire:

• the fire started at a 20 m2 area, but a leak from one tank caused the flames to spread.

• on the night of 20.03 the burning tank got depressurized, oil products exploded, and burning oil leaked out, making the fire spread to another tank, with the blaze area totaling over 10,000 m2. 

• by the morning of March 21, The first oil tank had completely burned out within the containment berm, while the second one kept burning. By the evening, the fire area was reduced to 1,250 m2. 

• on the night of 22.03, due to the burning tank’s depressurization, more oil leaked out, and a day later, the tank collapsed as a result of prolonged exposure to high temperatures. 

• by 25.03., the blaze had been limited to the 1,250 m2 area and the fire within the containment berm extinguished, but the tank itself kept burning. Three remaining undamaged tanks continued to be cooled, with special foam blankets created to protect them. On 25.03, open burning—and subsequently the fire itself—was extinguished.

The fire at the oil depot was assigned a level 4 complexity rating. Over six days, 473 personnel and 189 units of equipment, including four fire trains, were involved in extinguishing the fire.

The complexity of the fire (and thus the effectiveness of the attack) is evidenced by the fact that, since the beginning of the incident, the number of firefighters increased 4.5 times and the amount of equipment 3.5 times.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the UAV was allegedly intercepted and crashed 7 km from the station, near the Kavkazskaya railway station. The drone debris caused minor damage to an administrative building on the station’s grounds, breaking windows and damaging a section of the station’s overhead contact line. Rail traffic was not interrupted.
The Kavkazskaya railway station in the city of Kropotkin is located 7 km from the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station and 10 km from the oil depot in the stanitsa Kavkazskaya, which is also connected to the CPC infrastructure.

During the night, there was a massive drone attack on Saratov Oblast. The Telegram channel ASTRA geolocated a video showing a drone being downed over Saratov; the likely target may have been the Saratov oil refinery, located 3.5 km from the buildings captured in the video.
P.S. Very limited information—mainly from Russian media and without confirmation from the Ukrainian side—on the alleged Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure after March 20 may be considered likely disinformation, aimed at discrediting Ukraine and accusing it of violating the “energy truce” that came into effect on March 18, 2025.
