Moscow [Russia], June 14: Russian authorities said on Saturday that Ukraine had attacked a maritime terminal in southern Russia.
Falling debris from a drone killed one person and injured three others in the Temryuk district, Veniamin Kondratyev, governor of the Krasnodar region, wrote on Telegram. He said a fire had broken out, but did not specify the exact location.
One person was also killed in Ukraine in Russian attacks.
NASA's fire information system showed two fires on the Taman Peninsula, the location of a large transhipment terminal for oil products, which are then shipped across the Black Sea.
Ukraine confirms attacks
The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) confirmed that an attack on a gas and oil terminal was carried out in the Krasnodar region. In a statement, the domestic intelligence agency said that drones hit several targets, including five storage tanks containing petroleum products.
The SBU said the operation was justified because Russia's oil and gas industry remains a key source of funding for Moscow's war effort.
The General Staff in Kiev also said it hit an oil processing and production facility in the Volgograd region. Authorities there spoke of a fire caused by falling drone debris on the site of industrial infrastructure in the Kotovo district.
Russia has been waging a war against Ukraine for more than four years. In its counter-attacks, Ukraine is increasingly targeting Russia's oil industry to disrupt fuel supplies to Moscow's troops and reduce oil revenues.
Russian occupation authorities recently restricted petrol distribution, and the government in Moscow imposed an export ban on kerosene from Russia.
Russian attacks kill one
In Zaporizhzhya in the south-east of the country, one person was killed in a Russian attack on infrastructure, the region's military governor, Ivan Fedorov, reported.
Meanwhile, nine people were injured in several attacks involving drones and glide bombs in the Dnipropetrovsk region, according to the military governor of that region, Alexander Hanzha. Multi-storey residential buildings, detached houses and cars were damaged, and a fire broke out at a market, he said
