The attack took place on the night from Sunday to Monday. Russian news channels reported that explosions were also heard in other parts of Krasnodar Krai in Russia. The authorities activated an air alarm.
The main target of the strike was the important Shekharis oil terminal in the port of Novorossiysk. Recordings and photos published online indicate that the attack affected many facilities in the terminal.
The Sheshcharis terminal is one of the largest transhipment complexes for crude oil and petroleum products in southern Russia. Previously, the Ukrainian command reported that this terminal is directly involved in supplying Russian military groups in Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky: the situation on the front is the best in 10 months
On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that, in the opinion of Ukrainian and British intelligence, the current situation on the front is the best for Ukraine in the last 10 months.
The Ukrainian leader also announced that he had invited an American team of negotiators to Kiev. — The US delegation will do everything in its power to come to Kiev under the current conditions. This is an alternative option for a trilateral (Ukrainian-American-Russian) meeting at the working group level. An American group can come to us and after meeting with us go to Moscow. If the three of us can't meet, let's do it one at a time. This is our proposal, Zelensky said.
