Ukrainian drones conducted an air strike on the Novorossiysk port in the afternoon, damaging residential buildings, a hotel, and the office of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. At least two people were killed in the attack. The port, a key facility for oil and gas exports, has been a target of multiple drone attacks in recent weeks, raising concerns about its security and operational stability.
Local authorities have confirmed the casualties and are investigating the incident. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which operates a major oil pipeline through the region, has not yet issued a statement on the damage to its office. The attack has prompted calls for increased security measures at critical infrastructure sites in the area.
