Tonight, November 10, naval drones attacked the port in the Russian city of Tuapse. As a result, one of the berths was likely damaged, according to Astra.
At night, residents reported explosions in the city, and the drone alert lasted for almost 8 hours.
Sergey Boyko, head of the Tuapse municipal district of the Krasnodar region, announced that the threat of attacks by unmanned boats and drones had been lifted at 7 a.m. Kyiv time.
At the same time, he edited his initial message, removing information about the drones, but it remained in the message from the Operational Headquarters for the Krasnodar Territory. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that seven drones were shot down over the Black Sea.
"4 drones were neutralized in the Black Sea near Tuapse. One of the unmanned boats detonated near the coastline. The shock wave damaged the windows on the second floor of a two-story building, a garage, and a hangar, but there were no casualties. Emergency services are working at the scene," the Krasnodar Territory Operational Headquarters reports.
Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council's Joint Forces Operation Center, confirmed the strikes on the Russian port of Tuapse.
"There was a fire in the port of Tuapse at night," said the head of the NSDC's Joint Forces Operation Center.

Strikes on oil terminal in Tuapse
The Security Service of Ukraine, together with other security and defense forces, struck the oil terminal in the Russian port of Tuapse in the Krasnodar region of Russia.
At the time of the strike on the oil terminal in Tuapse, at least three ships were being loaded. They had semi-shadow status, so it was possible to establish who they belonged to.
According to Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, the strike on the oil terminal in Tuapse will have long-term consequences for Russia. Damage to strategic facilities will affect not only crude oil exports but also companies' confidence in Russian ports.
The Black Sea port of Tuapse has suspended fuel exports, and the local oil refinery has stopped processing crude oil after the attack by Ukrainian drones on November 2.
