Ukraine drone strike kills one, sparks fire at Russian port of Temryuk

A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and ignited a fire at a sea terminal in Russia's southern port of Temryuk, according to regional governor Veniamin Kondratiev.

The strike on the Krasnodar region port is the latest in a series of Ukrainian assaults targeting Russia's energy infrastructure as peace negotiations to end the war remain stalled.

Temryuk had previously been targeted by Ukrainian drones in late May, with Kyiv's security service claiming to have hit a gas terminal. Separately, another strike on Saturday caused a fire in an industrial area of the Kotovo district in the Volgograd region, though regional authorities did not provide details on the damage or affected facilities.

Ukraine continues to pummel Russia's energy infrastructure as peace talks to resolve the Ukraine war have stalled.

These attacks come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian forces had successfully struck multiple military and energy infrastructure sites deep within Russia. He specifically mentioned hitting a military factory in Cheboksary, over 900 kilometers from the front lines, which he claimed supplied components for Russian drones and missiles.

The conflict in Ukraine is increasingly being overshadowed by the war between the US and Iran, and the resulting global energy disruptions. President Zelenskyy is not scheduled for one-on-one talks with US President Donald Trump, who will be attending the Group of Seven summit in France. The static front lines, stretching over 1,000 kilometers, have led both sides to increasingly rely on long-range strikes, with drone warfare significantly hindering advances.
