Further results were confirmed from the December 5 strike on the Temryuk seaport in the Krasnodar region, which is vital to Russian Armed Forces.
The strike destroyed 20 fuel tanks, amounting to 70% of the facility’s storage. A fire also continues to burn at a liquefied gas loading dock, where nearly two dozen railway tankers are located. As of the evening of December 7, the fire covered nearly 1,000 square meters.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their efforts to undermine Russia’s military and economic potential, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wrote.
