MOSCOW, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Two oil storage tanks caught fire at the southern Russian port of Temryuk after a drone attack, though no casualties were reported, authorities in the Krasnodar region said Thursday, based on preliminary information.
The total fire area is approximately 2,000 square meters. And 70 personnel and 18 pieces of equipment are involved in the firefighting effort.
A separate drone strike overnight targeted the village of Nikolaevka in the Krasnodar region, damaging multiple industrial structures and farm equipment.
On Monday, Ukrainian drones attacked the port of Taman in the Volna settlement, damaging two piers and two tankers. In addition, two storage tanks were damaged by the falling wreckage of intercepted drones.
Temryuk and Taman are major seaports on the Black Sea, vital to Russia's export of oil and petroleum products. ■
