Drone Strike Kills One, Fires Temryuk Port
On 13 June 2026, Reuters reported that a Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and sparked a fire at a sea terminal in the Russian port of Temryuk, located in the Krasnodar region. The strike was confirmed by regional governor Veniamin Kondratiev, who did not provide details on the extent of the damage.
The Temryuk terminal had previously been targeted in late May when Ukraine’s security service announced a strike on a gas terminal at the same port. In a separate incident on the same Saturday, authorities in Russia’s Volgograd region reported a fire in an industrial area of the Kotovo district following another drone attack; regional governor Andrei Bocharov confirmed the fire but did not identify the facilities affected or disclose damage estimates.
These attacks are part of a broader Ukrainian campaign that has intensified against Russian energy, fuel and logistics infrastructure after the collapse of ceasefire efforts and stalled peace negotiations. Recent Ukrainian operations have struck oil refineries, fuel depots, pumping stations and export terminals across multiple Russian regions. Earlier in the week, Ukraine’s military said it hit the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar, causing a fire that Russian officials acknowledged but attributed to falling drone debris.
Ukraine’s campaign against Russian energy infrastructure has expanded significantly this year, disrupting refinery operations and fuel supplies in several regions, including Crimea. Meanwhile, Russian authorities have continued missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, indicating that the conflict shows little sign of easing.
