Drone Strikes Ignite Fuel Tanks At Russian Black Sea Port
"Multiple drones struck the Russian Black Sea port city of Temryuk in Krasnodar region overnight, igniting large fuel storage tanks and damaging industrial facilities, regional authorities and Russian media reported early on December 25. According to the Krasnodar regional operational headquarters, two oil product reservoirs caught fire at the port following the attack. The blaze spread over an estimated 2,000 square meters, and preliminary reports indicated no casualties. Footage published by local outlets showed flames rising from what appeared to be a refinery area near the shoreline."
"Russia's Defense Ministry claimed on December 25 to have shot down between 141 and 170 Ukrainian drones overnight, including seven over Krasnodar Krai, as well as several others over the Moscow and Bryansk regions. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said eight drones heading toward the capital were intercepted. Ukrainian officials have not yet commented on the reported strike in Temryuk, and the claims could not be independently verified. However, Ukrainian forces have in recent months conducted repeated long-range drone operations targeting Russian energy and transportation infrastructure."
