MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk halted oil exports on Friday after a Ukrainian drone attack, and oil pipeline monopoly Transneft suspended crude supplies to the outlet, two industry sources told Reuters.

Transneft declined to comment.

Earlier on Friday, local government officials said Ukrainian drones had damaged a docked ship, apartment buildings and an oil depot in Novorossiysk, a key outlet for Russian oil exports.
