A Ukrainian drone attack damaged two vessels and key port infrastructure at Russia’s Black Sea port of Taman in the Krasnodar region, causing a large fire and forcing the evacuation of crews, Russian regional authorities said on Monday.
Officials in the Krasnodar region reported that the attack struck the Volna terminal, where two tankers and two piers were damaged.
Authorities said a connecting pipeline at the terminal and two fuel storage tanks were also affected. Emergency services reported that the fire spread over an area of around 1,500 square metres and was still being tackled several hours after the incident.
The Krasnodar region’s operational headquarters said all crew members on board the vessels were safely evacuated. Officials added that there were no reports of injuries or oil spills following the attack.
