The main target of the strike was the Sheskharis oil terminal, a key hub for oil exports from Russia via the Black Sea.
On the night of November 14, a series of explosions were heard in Novorossiysk, Russia. Videos on social networks confirm a large-scale fire in the port area, writes Ukrainska Pravda.
The main target was the Sheskharis transshipment complex, a strategic facility of Transneft, through which a significant part of Urals oil is shipped. Together with the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal, this complex ensures the export of more than 2 million barrels of oil per day – about 5% of global sea supplies.

Against the backdrop of the attack, the Russians temporarily closed the airports in Krasnodar and Gelendzhik. It is also reported that an ammunition depot and air defense positions in the area of a military unit near the port were damaged.
Previously, USM reported that the port of Novorossiysk is operating at the brink of overload due to drone attacks.
