- Russian forces on Nov 10 destroyed four Ukrainian drone boats near the Black Sea port of Tuapse, the local task force said.

One of the drone boats detonated near the coast, according to the local task force.

It said shock waves damaged the glazing on the second floor of a two-storey building, as well as a garage and a boathouse. There were no casualties.

Tuapse is a key Russian outlet for exporting fuel.

According to industry sources and ship-tracking data, the port had suspended fuel exports, while the local oil refinery halted processing crude following
