Today, there was a strike on the Russian port Caucasus in Kuban. As a result, a ferry carrying fuel sank.

This was reported by SHOT.

According to a Russian Telegram channel, so far, only four crew members of the sunken ferry in the Caucasus port, who ended up overboard, have been rescued. In total, there were 17 people on board. The governor of Krasnodar Krai, Veniamin Kondratyev, stated that the Russians are currently trying to rescue the other crew members.

 

 

The Telegram channel Shot also reports that a Ukrainian Neptune missile hit the railway ferry Conro Trader. Traffic on the Crimean Bridge was temporarily halted.

It is worth noting that earlier today, Russian sources began reporting that smoke was visible above the Caucasus port. Shortly after, it became known that there was a strike on the port Caucasus in Kuban.

 

 

Initially, the Russian authorities claimed that a ferry carrying fuel was attacked. However, a few hours later, Russian media, citing local authorities, reported that the ferry with fuel had sunk.

It should be noted that this is not the first strike on this port.

OSINT analysts note that the "Conro Trader" was the only large ferry operating between Kerch and Russia.

There is currently no official information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
