Ukraine drone strikes kills one, sparks fire at Russian port of Temryuk, governor says


MOSCOW, June 13 (Reuters) - ⁠A Ukrainian drone attack killed ⁠one person and sparked a fire ‌at a sea terminal in the southern Russian port of Temryuk, in the Krasnodar region, ​governor Veniamin Kondratiev said ⁠on the Telegram ⁠messaging app.

Ukraine continues to pummel Russia's energy ⁠infrastructure ‌as peace talks to resolve the Ukraine war have ⁠stalled.

Temryuk was previously targeted by Ukrainian drones ​in ‌late May, when Kyiv's security service ⁠said it ​had struck a gas terminal there.

A separate strike on Saturday sparked a ⁠fire in an industrial area ​of the Kotovo district in the Volgograd region, regional authorities said, citing governor ⁠Andrei Bocharov.

Bocharov did not disclose details of the damage or identify the facilities affected.

On June 1 Reuters reported ​that the Lukoil-owned Volgograd ⁠oil refinery in Russia's south, has suspended ​oil processing since ‌May 29 following a ​Ukrainian drone attack.
