Tuapse Collects 15,000 Cubic Meters Of Contaminated Soil

Local petroleum product leaks occurred across five sections of the coastline in Tuapse. Regional operational headquarters reported that cleanup efforts are currently underway. These leaks follow a refinery fire that was extinguished earlier this morning. The volume of illegally drained fuel may reach 100,000 liters per day. This leak results in monthly tax revenue losses exceeding 2 million euros. The source noted that approximately 200 trucks from Russia and Belarus are involved in the activity. Additional barriers are being installed in the Tuapse municipal district to prevent oil from leaking into the Black Sea. An emergency state was declared in the Tuapse area on April 28. The measures aim to mitigate environmental risks following the declaration of the emergency. The collection followed an attack on a sea terminal that caused fires on the premises. The source did not specify the cause of the attack or the total damage incurred.
