MOSCOW, July 30. /TASS/. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) has reported another drone attack on two tankers near its terminal outside Novorossiysk, which resulted in a renewed suspension of oil shipments, the press service of the company reported.

"On July 30, 2026, at 1:48 a.m. Moscow time, the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker NIFFOS SIFNOS carrying a cargo from Tengizchevroil (a Chevron company) and undergoing oil loading at the CPC’s single point mooring SPM-3 was subjected to a terrorist attack. As a result of the drone attack, a fire broke out in the area of the oil intake manifolds on the cargo deck, which was extinguished by the tanker’s crew with the assistance of three CPC support vessels," the report said.

There were no injuries or casualties among CPC personnel or contractor staff, and no oil spill occurred. The tanker remains afloat, and damage assessment is underway. Oil loading has currently been halted, while pipeline facilities are operating normally.
