Russia port city attacked: Fire at oil facility on Black Sea impacts residents

A Ukrainian drone strike ignited a blaze at the Topsail oil refinery and adjoining seaport that has burned for four days, causing severe pollution in the city.

An initial oil spill near the port has dispersed, but air quality in several districts remains about twice the norm, with toxic ‘black rain’ coating homes, farmland and livestock.

Al Jazeera’s Yulia Shapovalova reports from Russia.
