A fire at a marine terminal in Russia’s Black Sea port of Tuapse was extinguished following Friday’s Ukrainian drone strike, Krasnodar region emergency authorities said on Telegram.

The hit was the latest in a series of attacks on the port and the nearby Rosneft PJSC refinery since April 16. The resultant fires have typically taken a few days days to extinguish. Some 130 people and more than 40 pieces of equipment were deployed to contain the latest blaze.
