Ukrainian drones damage ship, dwellings, oil depot in Russia’s Novorossiysk

(Reuters) -A Ukrainian drone attack early on Friday damaged a ship in port, apartment buildings and an oil depot in the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, injuring three crew members of the vessel, Russian officials said.

The operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region said on Telegram that the three injured crew members were being treated in hospital.

It said drone fragments hit at least four apartments, smashing windows but causing no injuries.

The attack also triggered a fire at an oil depot in a transshipment complex, which was brought under control by emergency crews. The operational headquarters said coastal structures were also damaged, but provided no further details. 

Reuters could not verify the account of the attacks and there was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials.
