Russia's Taman port damaged by Ukrainian drone strike
The strike damaged an oil storage tank and terminals, injuring two, as Ukraine targets Russian energy exports to weaken Moscow before peace talks, officials said.
- Ukrainian drones struck the Taman seaport, damaging fuel tanks and port terminals, with the heaviest impact in the settlement of Volna, officials reported.
- Targeting of refineries, terminals and ports underpins recent operations in southern and border regions as Ukraine strikes Russian refineries, oil terminals and the Taman facility, previously attacked in December.
- Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said air defences battled drones throughout the night as emergency services deployed 126 personnel and 34 units to contain fires and two people were hospitalized.
- Local authorities said they are working to restore hot water but buildings on the centralized heating system will not receive hot water until the end of the heating season, and Sochi suffered one of its most prolonged attacks, officials reported.
- Amid reciprocal strikes, Russia has repeatedly hit Ukrainian energy infrastructure, leaving widespread outages, and last week more than 220,000 users in Belgorod region lost power after an attack.
