The last station selling gasoline in Gelendzhik — a Black Sea resort city in southern Russia — has run dry

In the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik, Russia, the last station selling gasoline has run out of fuel. As of August 21 morning, only one gas station in the city, a Lukoil station in Arkhipo-Osipovka village, was selling gasoline. However, by the evening, even this station had run out of gasoline, according to iStories, an independent Russian investigative outlet.

A hotel clerk next to the Lukoil station confirmed to iStories that the station had no gasoline left. Drivers in the city echoed the same experience in a local chat group they use to share information about fuel availability. Tuapse, another resort city, also faced a similar situation. On the morning of August 21, only one of Tuapse's 14 operating gas stations was selling 95-octane gasoline, and two were selling 92-octane.
