Russia has accused Ukraine of attacking its Black Sea navy base in the port of Novorossiysk with sea drones. Novorossiysk is just across the water from Crimea where Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it thwarted another drone attack by Ukraine overnight.
The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which operates an oil terminal in the port, said Russian navy ships repelled an attack of sea drones and that maritime traffic was banned temporarily. The company said its facilities were not damaged and that loaded tankers will be moved after the ban is lifted.
The Associated Press could not verify the videos. Ukrainian officials have not commented on the attack, in keeping with the country’s security policy. Videos shared on Russian social media channels reportedly from around the city of Feodosia in Crimea showed what appeared to be air defense systems working, as well as loud explosions.
