Russia destroys four Ukrainian drone boats near Black Sea's Tuapse
Four Ukrainian uncrewed surface vessels were destroyed near Tuapse port, causing explosions and damage to nearby buildings during an eight-hour drone emergency, Russian officials said.
- On November 10, 2025, sea drones struck the port of Tuapse overnight; Andriy Kovalenko confirmed the strikes and the Russian Ministry of Defense said seven drones and four uncrewed surface vessels were neutralized.
- Tuapse, a major oil‑handling facility and terminal, is key to Russia's Black Sea supply chain, and the Ukrainian military looks determined to take the refinery and terminal complex offline this year.
- Locals reported explosions and uploaded photos showing fire as one unmanned boat detonated near the shoreline, with the threat lasting almost 8 hours until lifted around 7:00 a.m. Kyiv time, Sergey Boyko said.
- Officials said the attack likely damaged one of the harbour's piers, while blast and shock waves damaged a two-story house, garage, and hangar with no injuries reported.
- As sea drone technology advances, with around 20% of Russia's national refinery capacity knocked out by drones in recent months, authorities are building metal cages around oil facilities.
