Powerful Strike By The AFU: Oil Tankers Disappeared From Tuapse

The Russians are in serious trouble.

OSINT analyst Morten Bjorn has published data showing a dramatic change in Russian port activity following recent strikes by Ukrainian forces. According to his observations, all tankers have disappeared in the Tuapse area, which was previously an extremely rare phenomenon.

The expert described the details in his X account, noted "Dialogue".

The researcher, who received the information through the GPS signal monitoring system, said that "not a single oil or chemical tanker has been noted in the Tuapse water area." He emphasized that there were usually "at least four or five vessels in the area, including those at the roadstead." Now, according to Bjorn, there are only "a few bulk carriers and small cargo ships not related to oil transportation".

He also studied data on Ust-Luga and reported that "there is noticeable activity in the port, but some vessels have been anchored for a long time, some since October 24." According to the analyst, the reasons could be different: loading restrictions or a drop in demand for Russian oil.

As for the port of Primorsk, Bjorn specified that "only one of the three loading piers is being used." He recalled that the facility had already been hit on September 12 and "some structures may still not be restored."

The researcher emphasized that his conclusions are preliminary and based on open data, but the trends are clear: activity in Tuapse has ceased and the infrastructure of the northern ports is operating intermittently.
