Details: Initial reports in Russian Telegram channels claimed that the Temryuk commercial seaport in Krasnodar Krai was under drone attack.

Later updates mentioned strikes on fuel tanks and a fire.

The Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters confirmed the damage and the fire, which it said was tackled by eight firefighting crews.

Quote from the Krasnodar Krai operational headquarters: "Elements of the port infrastructure in Temryuk were damaged as a result of a UAV attack by the Kyiv regime. A fire broke out."

Updated: Astra later reported that it had analysed eyewitness footage of the fire and concluded that the video was filmed from the Temryuk – St Golubitskaya road, around four kilometres from the port.

According to Astra, a gas terminal is burning.

For reference: The Temryuk seaport is located in the Temryuk Bay of the Sea of Azov on the Taman Peninsula in Krasnodar Krai.

The port houses a complex through which various types of cargo pass, including liquefied hydrocarbon gas (LHG) and other oil products.

The company's website states that its main activities include "handling general, bulk (including grain and inert materials) and liquid cargoes as well as leasing production and storage facilities."

Background: On the night of 3-4 December, Ukraine's defence forces struck the Nevinnomyssk Azot chemical plant in Russia's Stavropol Krai which produces basic components for explosive materials.
