Russian authorities reported a massive Ukrainian drone attack on the Krasnodar region on Sunday, February 15. Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said the assault lasted through the night and left people injured.
Kondratyev said terminals at the Black Sea port of Taman were damaged — four fuel storage tanks caught fire after falling drone debris ignited them. Two people were wounded, according to the regional operations center. The governor also reported damage in Sochi and in the village of Yurovka in Anapa.
Ukrainian Telegram channels posted footage of strikes on targets in Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, Gelendzhik, Slavyansk-na-Kubani, Sochi, Anapa, Tuapse and Adygea.
This is not the first time Taman has been hit: in December 2025, the port’s infrastructure was damaged in raids. At the time, two berths, two ships and a fuel oil feeder pipeline were damaged. The Taman port, located in the village of Volna in Temryuksky District, is a key hub for Russian energy exports.
The terminal handles diesel fuel, crude oil, fuel oil and vacuum gas oil for export. The design capacity of the Taman transshipment complex is 20 million tons of oil, petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) per year.
The storage park for petroleum products (light and dark) has an estimated capacity of 1.01 million cubic meters. Since June 2023, LPG from Russia and Kazakhstan has not been handled through Taman due to a ban on rail shipments of the product. Industry sources say exports of petroleum products through Taman totaled about 4.16 million tons in 2025.
