Oil loading operations were temporarily suspended due to an attack by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on two tankers carrying Kazakh oil at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's (CPC) Black Sea marine terminal on 19 July.
The fires that broke out on the attacked vessels, named ASIA and NISSOS IOS, were quickly extinguished by the crew, and no oil spill occurred into the sea. It was announced that no one from the multinational crew was injured in the incident and the terminal's offshore mooring systems were not damaged.
The Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan condemned the attacks on civilian energy infrastructure, stating that such actions put global energy security at risk and disrupted international energy trade.
