The incidents occurred near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium export terminal off Novorossiysk, where CPC Blend crude from Kazakhstan is loaded for shipment to global markets. At least two tankers, Matilda and Delta Harmony, were confirmed hit by drones while waiting to load or manoeuvring near the terminal area. No crew were injured, and the damage was reportedly contained, but the attacks marked a significant escalation in the direct targeting of commercial vessels linked to energy exports.
