An unmanned aircraft attack by Ukrainian forces resulted in one fatality and ignited a blaze at a maritime terminal in Temryuk, a port city located in Russia’s Krasnodar region, according to governor Veniamin Kondratiev, who made the announcement via the Telegram messaging platform.
The ongoing conflict has seen Ukraine persistently targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure while diplomatic efforts to end the war remain at an impasse.
This marks the second time Temryuk has faced Ukrainian drone attacks, with the previous incident occurring in late May when Kyiv’s security service reported hitting a gas terminal at the same location.
Regional officials also reported another incident on Saturday, where a separate attack ignited a fire in an industrial zone within the Kotovo district of the Volgograd region, according to statements attributed to governor Andrei Bocharov.
Bocharov refrained from providing specifics about the extent of damage or naming which facilities were impacted.
Earlier this month, Reuters documented that the Lukoil-owned Volgograd oil refinery in southern Russia halted its oil processing operations on May 29 after sustaining damage from a Ukrainian drone assault.
