Taman, Russia's Black Sea port known for handling commodities such as oil products and grain, has been targeted by a Ukrainian drone strike, announced the governor of the Krasnodar region on Sunday.

The attack resulted in injuries to two people and inflicted damage on an oil storage tank and associated infrastructure. Crews consisting of over 100 workers have been deployed to control multiple fires at the site.

This incident is part of renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy facilities after the lapse of a U.S.-brokered moratorium on such attacks, escalating the long-standing tensions between the two nations.
