In the city of Novorossiysk on the territory of the aggressor country of Russia (Krasnodar Territory), powerful explosions occurred on the night of May 17. They wrote online that the UAV allegedly targeted a port and an oil depot.
Local residents reported that the explosions were heard around 3.30. Telegram channels published footage of air defense work and a fire in the port.
“Military correspondents” of the aggressor country confirm “arrivals” in Novorossiysk. Local residents, meanwhile, counted at least 19 explosions. They claim that there are arrivals at the port and at the oil depot.
Russian publics report that drones attacked the Novorossiysk fuel oil terminal and the Transneft terminal.
“Powerful bangs and sounds similar to machine gun fire began to be heard around 3 a.m. in the area of the local port. Also in several areas the characteristic sounds of a UAV flying were heard,” propaganda publications wrote.
The network also reported that the port of Novorossiysk was allegedly cut off after arrival.
Later, the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratyev, announced an “unsuccessful Ukrainian attack.” According to him, Russian air defense “suppressed” more than 10 drones, and “local fires arose” due to falling fragments.
Deputy Chairman of Novorossiysk Alexander Yamenskov at approximately 05:00 reported that there was a power outage in a number of areas. Also in Novorossiysk, after the UAV attack and explosions in the morning, public transport did not work; due to the danger, Russians were asked not to leave their homes.
“No one leaves the house. Neither to school nor to work,” said the deputy chairman of Novorossiysk in the chat of his telegram channel.
As of 6 a.m. in Novorossiysk, traffic along the previously blocked Magistralnaya Street was restored, public transport returned to work, and residents were allowed to leave their homes.

Very nice! That’s what I’m talking about. Daily attacks on mafia land’s oil industry. If anything brings the cockroaches to their knees, it’s that.
Excellent! 😁💥
