Drone Attack on Novorossiysk: Russia Halts Oil Exports.
The Russian port of Novorossiysk has halted oil exports due to a drone attack.
Attack on Important Territories
At the beginning of November, Ukrainian drones hit a ship and an oil depot in Novorossiysk, which plays a key role in the export of Russian oil. The oil depot at the 'Sheskharis' transshipment complex and the oil refinery near Saratov were damaged.
Statement from the President of Ukraine
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized in his speech that Ukrainian forces effectively used 'Long Neptunes' to strike Russian targets.
"Ukrainian forces successfully used 'Long Neptunes' to attack Russian territory."
The halt of oil exports from Novorossiysk may have significant consequences for the Russian economy, as this port is one of the main channels for supplying oil to foreign markets. Further strikes could lead to a reduction in Russian refining capacities and complicate the situation in the international energy market.
