Russian forces destroyed four Ukrainian drone boats near Tuapse, impacting fuel exports and causing infrastructure damage.
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian forces on Monday destroyed four Ukrainian drone boats near the Black Sea port of Tuapse, the local task force said.
Tuapse is a key Russian outlet for exporting fuel.
According to industry sources and ship-tracking data, the port had suspended fuel exports, while the local oil refinery halted processing crude following November 2 Ukrainian drone attacks on its infrastructure.
One of the drone boats on Monday detonated near the coast, according to the local task force. It said shock waves damaged the glazing on the second floor of a two-story building, as well as a garage and a boathouse. There were no casualties.
Russian Railways said it has extended restrictions for cargo deliveries towards Tuapse until November 13.

A drone boat is an unmanned vessel that can be controlled remotely or autonomously. These boats are often used for surveillance, reconnaissance, or military operations.
A local oil refinery is a facility that processes crude oil into usable products such as gasoline, diesel, and other petrochemicals. It plays a crucial role in the energy supply chain.
Fuel exports refer to the sale and shipment of refined petroleum products to other countries. This process is vital for countries that produce more fuel than they consume.
Cargo delivery restriction refers to limitations placed on the transportation of goods, often due to safety concerns, regulatory measures, or logistical challenges.
