Russia burns as huge fire rips through port after Ukraine drone attack | World | News

Russia’s largest Black Sea port was targeted by a massive drone strike, causing a massive fire at an oil facility. The Ukrainian military continues to strike military-industrial facilities as well as Russian energy infrastructure.

Kiev is trying to prevent Russia from making money from oil exports that help finance its brutal war in Ukraine. In the latest devastating attack, Ukrainian special forces inflicted major damage on Novorossiysk, a major energy hub. The attacks damaged loading stands, pipeline infrastructure and pumping systems.

After the drones crashed into the Sheskharis oil loading terminal, a huge fire broke out and huge flames spread into the night sky.

More than 100 firefighters were sent to the port for more than two hours to battle the flames.

A senior Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) source confirmed the attack on the oil complex.

they said Kyiv Post: “The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Security and Defense Forces, continues to reduce oil dollar revenues to the Russian budget.

“Every oil refinery or oil terminal hit means millions of dollars less for the Kremlin’s war machine. We will continue to deprive the aggressor of resources until he loses the ability to wage this war.”

As a result of the bombardment that continued throughout the night, the port of Novorossiysk had to stop oil shipments.

The Sheskharis plant is one of the largest oil transportation hubs in southern Russia.

It receives, stores and exports crude and refined products and handles a significant portion of Russia’s seaborne Ural oil shipments.

The complex includes 30 crude oil tanks with a total capacity of 820,000 cubic meters, as well as numerous fuel oil and diesel reservoirs.

A civilian ship was also hit in the port, while many apartment buildings were damaged by debris falling from drones.
