Initially, Russian authorities claimed that a fuel ferry had been attacked.
However, just a few hours later, Russian media, citing local authorities, reported that the fuel ferry had sunk.
Notably, this is not the first strike on this port. For instance, at the end of May, Ukraine's Defense Forces attacked an oil terminal in the vicinity of the port of Kavkaz.
At that time, the strike damaged the ferry crossing and the port's oil terminal.
Moreover, there was another attack on the port in July. Recently, drones attacked a ferry vessel in the port of Kavkaz.
