A Ukrainian drone attack struck a vital Russian port, igniting a fire at a terminal and resulting in one death. The assault occurred in Temryuk, located in Russia's southern Krasnodar region. Governor Veniamin Kondratiev confirmed the incident via the Telegram messaging app. This latest strike underscores Ukraine's continued efforts to target Russia's energy infrastructure, even as peace negotiations 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 at that time. In a separate incident on Saturday, a fire broke out in an industrial zone in the Kotovsky district of the Volgograd region, according to regional authorities citing Governor Andrey Bocharov. Details regarding the damage or the specific objects hit were not immediately disclosed by Bocharov. Earlier, on June 1, Reuters reported that a Lukoil-owned oil refinery in Volgograd had halted oil processing since May 29, following a Ukrainian drone attack.
In the Ukrainian drone attack, one person died and a fire broke out at the sea terminal in the southern Russian port of Temryuk in the Krasnodar region.
