Ukraine attacked the Novorossiysk naval base and port overnight into 12 August, and Zelensky said its forces struck air defences, piers and port infrastructure using jet drones, Neptune missiles and naval drones, the Kyiv Independent reported. Ukraine's General Staff said two frigates, a missile ship and a patrol ship were damaged; witnesses reported damage to a grain terminal and the Sheskharis oil terminal, and Reuters reported the grain terminal suspended operations. Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said an eight-year-old boy was killed and eight people injured by falling debris, and Russia's defence ministry said 502 drones were destroyed overnight. The Kyiv Independent said it could not verify the reports.
