In a statement, the General Staff reported a strike on the Grushovaya oil transshipment depot, part of the Sheskharis oil export complex near the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk in Russia's Krasnodar region. Ukrainian officials said a fire broke out at the site following the attack, although the full extent of the damage remains under assessment, Caliber.Az reports.

In addition, Ukrainian military officials reported strikes against a radar installation in the Kabardinka area of Krasnodar region, as well as drone control centers, logistics depots, and concentrations of Russian troops in several areas, including the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kursk regions.
