Ukraine Pounds Naval Base and Grain Terminals at Russia’s Black Sea Port of Novorossiysk

Ukraine carried out strikes targeting a Russian naval base and grain terminals in Novorossiysk, a key Black Sea port. The attacks come as both sides compete to influence shipping routes and regional economic leverage. Officials reported damage and disruptions affecting port operations, with grain handling reportedly impacted. The assault underscores the ongoing focus on maritime infrastructure and military logistics.
