Two tankers at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) oil terminal in the Black Sea were targeted by a terrorist drone attack, the company said on Sunday.
"The CPC Marine Terminal was targeted by a terrorist attack. On July 19, 2026, during loading operations at the single-point moorings (SPM-1 and SPM-3), two sea tankers, the ASIA, carrying oil from Tengizchevroil (Chevron), and the NISSOS IOS, carrying oil from Kashagan B.V. and Maten (KazMunayGas National Company), were targeted by a terrorist attack using unmanned aerial vehicles," the CPC said.
The tankers, which are flagged as Liberia ("ASIA") and the Marshall Islands ("NISSOS IOS"), have international crews on board, the company clarified.
Oil loading at the CPC terminal was halted following the drone attack, the company said, adding that the oil spill from the drone attack was prevented and the tankers remained buoyant.
Damage assessments are underway, CPC said.
