Drone Attacks Damage Grain Terminals in Russia's Novorossiysk Amid Ongoing Ukraine Conflict
Recent Ukrainian drone attacks targeted Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, damaging two major grain terminals and causing casualties, including a child. The attacks also affected oil export infrastructure, though the Caspian Pipeline Consortium reportedly was not hit following a U.S. request for Ukraine to halt strikes on non-Russian vessels. Meanwhile, Russia intensified strikes on Ukrainian cities, damaging infrastructure and causing power outages. Both sides have escalated attacks on each other's strategic assets amid ongoing conflict.
