A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and injured three others at the Temryuk port in Russia's Krasnodar region on June 22, 2024.
The attack targets critical infrastructure in southern Russia, reflecting Ukraine's strategy to disrupt logistics and energy capabilities during the ongoing conflict.
Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said one person was killed and a fire broke out at a sea terminal of Russia’s Temryuk port after the attack. Emergency crews responded to the blaze at the terminal, where the strike caused significant damage to the facility.
Official reports indicate that one person died [1] and three people were injured [1] as a result of the operation. The strike occurred at the sea terminal of the port, which serves as a key node for shipping in the region.
While some reports suggested the strike targeted a refinery, other sources confirmed the impact was limited to the Temryuk port sea terminal. The event is part of a broader campaign by Ukrainian forces to utilize long-range drones against Russian military and industrial assets.
Ukrainian forces have increasingly focused on the Krasnodar region to pressure Russian logistics. These operations aim to degrade the ability of the Russian military to move supplies and fuel toward the front lines of the war.

The strike on the Temryuk port demonstrates Ukraine's ability to project power deep into Russian territory using unmanned aerial vehicles. By targeting sea terminals and transport hubs in the Krasnodar region, Ukraine seeks to create economic disruptions and force Russia to divert air defense resources away from the primary combat zones.
