Novorossiysk, Russia A large-scale Ukrainian drone swarm attack targeted oil terminals and infrastructure at the Port of Novorossiysk in Russia’s Krasnodar region overnight. Multiple fires have broken out across the port’s oil facilities, according to reports from Visegrad 24 and local sources.

Novorossiysk is one of Russia’s most important Black Sea ports and a major hub for oil and petroleum product exports. Ukrainian forces have increasingly used long-range drone swarms to strike Russian energy infrastructure deep behind the front lines as part of their strategy to disrupt Moscow’s war economy.

The extent of the damage and any casualties are still unclear as Russian authorities have not yet issued an official statement. Videos circulating online show significant flames and smoke rising from the port area.

This attack represents one of the most significant Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory in recent months and comes amid ongoing heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine and international diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire.
