Ukraine strikes major Russian port in overnight drone attack
Ukraine carried out an overnight drone attack on a key Russian port in Novorossiysk, in the Krasnodar region, according to Politico Europe.
Ukraine has reportedly launched an overnight drone attack targeting a major Russian port in Novorossiysk, located in Russia's Krasnodar region on the Black Sea coast, Politico Europe reported.
Novorossiysk is one of Russia's largest ports and has repeatedly been a target of Ukrainian long-range drone strikes throughout the war. Such attacks have become part of Ukraine's broader approach to disrupting Russian infrastructure tied to trade and energy exports.
The available report does not specify the scale of damage, potential casualties, or further operational details of the strike. There is also no mention of an official Russian response or comment on the incident.
It should be noted that the source material on this specific event is limited — the outlet's page otherwise links to unrelated stories, including one about a secret migrant tunnel discovered at the Latvian-Belarusian border and statements from European leaders on migration policy.
The port at Novorossiysk holds strategic importance for Russia, handling a significant share of the country's exports, including oil shipments. Strikes on such facilities form part of the wider war that has continued since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Further details about the circumstances and consequences of the attack were not available at the time of reporting, and the picture may become clearer as additional information emerges from official sources.
