Novorossiysk after Ukraine’s massive combined strike. Extensive damage is visible across the port and its surroundings, pointing to one of, if not the largest, combined Ukrainian missile and drone attacks on the Russian Black Sea stronghold since the start of the full-scale war.
Ukraine’s 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center says it destroyed dozens of Russian air defense systems and radar stations in a month. The unit says this opened corridors for long-range strikes on the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk and the Novatek refinery.
Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed overnight strikes on three Russian targets: a ground relay used to control Geran/Gerbera attack drones near Olenivka in occupied Crimea, a repair unit near Mariupol, and a concentration of personnel from an unmanned systems unit near Mariivka in Luhansk region. The General Staff said the strikes reduce Russia’s ability to control attack drones, maintain military e...

The proposed re-export includes 70 ATACMS missiles, more than 2,500 M26 rockets and 47,000 artillery shells.

❗️Bingo: Ukraine’s overnight drone strikes forced Russia’s Novorossiysk grain terminal to suspend operations. The terminal’s owner confirmed the facility sustained damage, while an assessment is underway. Operations remain halted at the major Russian Black Sea grain export terminal.
Aftermath of the Ukrainian strike on Novorossiysk’s grain terminal: one overpass collapsed and fires hit the complex. The Novorossiysk Grain Products Plant is a major port transshipment facility with two elevators, 300,000 tonnes of total storage capacity and berths able to handle vessels up to 72,000 DWT. A suspension would directly interrupt grain handling and export operations at one of Russia’...
A huge amount of mobile fire groups were active against Ukrainian drones overnight in Novorossiysk. There are also reports that Ukraine, besides drones, used missiles to attack port facilities. Ukrainian sources report that serious damage has been inflicted.
Ukraine’s Air Force says 112 of 138 Russian drones were downed or suppressed overnight. Russia also launched an Iskander-M ballistic missile, a Kh-31P anti-radar missile and Kh-35 guided missiles. Sumy and Odesa regions were the main targets, with strikes recorded at 16 locations.
