A fresh Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s Black Sea port of Tuapse, the fourth in the past week, sparked a fire at the sea terminal but caused no injuries, local officials said early on Friday, Reuters reports.
Tuapse has come under repeated attack, particularly the Black Sea port's oil terminal.
The strikes have disrupted daily life, with authorities telling residents not to drink water and closing schools.
"In Tuapse, as a result of a drone attack by Kyiv, a fire broke out on the territory of the seaport terminal," the General Headquarters in the Krasnodar Region said on Telegram.
The report said emergency crews were working at the site, with 128 firefighters and 41 emergency vehicles drafted in to tackle the blaze.
