Explosions in Tuapse Port: Drones Attack Berth Area, Vessel Likely Hit

On the night of November 9–10, 2025, maritime drones attacked port infrastructure in the port of Tuapse.

The outlet Astra reported on this.

According to the analysis of video and photo materials, the location of the strike was identified – it was likely the area of berth No. 167, where a maritime drone detonated. In addition, reports indicate possible damage to a vessel that was moored nearby.

Meanwhile, the attack on the berth was confirmed by the regional authorities. The head of the Tuapse municipal district in the Krasnodar region, Sergey Boyko, initially wrote in his official statement about an attack by maritime drones, but later deleted this information.

Despite this, the original post was preserved in the Telegram channel of the Krasnodar Krai headquarters.

Later, a message appeared on the Telegram channel of the Krasnodar Krai headquarters stating that four maritime drones had been neutralized in the Black Sea near Tuapse. One of them detonated near the shoreline, and the blast wave damaged a two-story building, a garage, and a boat hangar.

It should be recalled that fuel exports through the Tuapse seaport were suspended after an attack by Ukrainian drones on November 2, 2025. The oil refinery located on the port’s territory also halted its operations.
