Tuapse is one of Russia's largest oil refineries and export terminals. Ukriane has hit it several times over the last two weeks; basically whenever Russia manages to put the fires out, Ukraine hits another previously-unmolested part of the terminal. Tuapse has been burning hard enough there are videos of oil raining down on everything in the area.
'Magyar's sanctions' is a mashup of Magyar's Birds, a Ukranian group that is well-known for their drone warfare, and kinetic sanctions, ie blowing shit up so they can't sell it.
I would guess that the oil in all of the "intact" tanks is very hot as well. Oil is very good in retaining heat, after all.
Hot oil is much, much easier to set on fire than cooler oil.
