Record Attacks on Russian Oil Infrastructure: Bloomberg Reports the Number of Strikes in a Month.

According to ТСН: Last month in Ukraine, historically record strikes were recorded against the strategic oil infrastructure of Russia. The military conducted at least 14 attacks on enemy facilities using drones.

This record coincided with four strikes on oil-loading complexes in the Black Sea, as well as explosions on tankers transporting Russian oil.

"Late last week, Ukraine attacked two tankers in the Black Sea. The third vessel, which had previously carried Russian oil, suffered four external explosions off the coast of Dakar, Senegal, late Thursday," reported a source familiar with the operation, speaking on condition of anonymity.

During these events, the drone boats damaged one of the three berths of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which is the largest supplier of Kazakh oil.

"After the explosion, the berth was seriously damaged. In response to inquiries about the damage, CPC stated that further operations at the berth are impossible," journalists reported, citing a source.

Thus, the CPC terminal was left with one operational berth, as the other is currently undergoing scheduled maintenance, which may last until mid-January due to seasonal storm conditions in the Black Sea.

Kazakhstan, which before the attack supplied nearly 1.5 million barrels of crude oil daily via the CPC, has activated a plan to redirect exports to alternative routes to maintain its production. The country has labeled the attacks on civil energy infrastructure as "unacceptable," emphasizing that they pose a threat to global energy security.

Earlier, Navy representatives commented on the damage to the Caspian Pipeline. Spokesman Pletenchuk noted that this underscores the importance of not cooperating with the aggressor country that benefits from waging war against Ukraine.

"This process, in my opinion, is quite understandable, considering that strikes on our ports are ongoing. We are acting mirror-wise and will continue to do so," Pletenchuk said.

Thus, the increase in attacks on Russian oil infrastructure indicates a strengthening of Ukraine's military actions in response to aggression. These events also have a direct impact on the energy security of not only the region but the world as a whole, as Kazakhstan, a significant oil exporter, must adapt its supply routes to the new reality. How this process will affect the global oil market will become clear in the near future.
