  • Ukrainian drones hit Novorossiysk port, causing a fire and power outages, reports say.
  • The attack follows heightened defenses at the port after previous Ukrainian strikes on Crimea.
  • Novorossiysk is vital for Russia's oil exports and naval operations in the Black Sea.

The Russian port of Novorossiysk, which has become an important base for the Black Sea Fleet after repeated attacks on its traditional base in Crimea, has been targeted by Ukrainian drones.

Light it up again plz. Let's help the sea heal by creating some new reefs. Some come with fish food inside!

These wrecks will be leaking fuel and other nasty stuff for a long time. It'll probably hurt the environment more than help.

They are already leaking fuel and other nasty stuff. Russian ships are shit. At least by being blown up they catch fire and burn most of it off
