Neptune Missiles Strike: A Blow to Russian Oil Exports

Ukrainian Neptune cruise missiles targeted Russia's Novorossiysk port, halting oil exports temporarily. This strike affected 2% of the global oil supply, highlighting the ongoing tensions and strategic disruptions in the Black Sea region.

Ukrainian Neptune cruise missiles made a significant impact as they struck Russia's Novorossiysk port, as confirmed by Ukraine's General Staff on Friday.

With a 1,000 km range, these missiles have proven their reach and effectiveness, targeting a crucial node in the Black Sea.

The strike led to a temporary suspension of oil exports from Novorossiysk, accounting for 2.2 million barrels daily, which is approximately 2% of the global supply, according to industry insiders. Local authorities attributed the disruption to a Ukrainian drone attack, further escalating regional tensions.
