Two grain terminals at Russia's Novorossiysk halt work after Ukrainian attack, sources say
Ukraine said the overnight strike damaged four Russian warships and forced grain exporters to suspend operations at one of the country’s biggest Black Sea ports.
- On August 12, 2026, Ukrainian forces struck the Russian naval base at Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai, damaging four warships and targeting coastal infrastructure, according to the General Staff.
- Novorossiysk has served as the main harbor for the Russian Black Sea Fleet since Moscow relocated assets from Crimea following repeated Ukrainian strikes on the former base.
- The General Staff identified the damaged vessels as frigates Admiral Makarov and Admiral Essen, the Buyan-M missile ship, and the patrol ship Vasily Bykov. Militarnyi reported Russian air defenses damaged civilian buildings.
- Industry sources told The Moscow Times the attack halted operations at two major grain terminals at Novorossiysk, including NKHP, which normally handles about 12% of Russian grain exports.
- The wider Sea of Azov and Black Sea basin handles about 80% of Russian grain trade, with Novorossiysk's terminals accounting for roughly 40% of Russian grain exports.
