Euronews reports that Ukraine conducted a strike on Russia's Novorossiysk naval base on or before December 8, 2026, employing Palianytsia drones, Neptune missiles, and unmanned naval systems against air-defense positions, piers, and port infrastructure more than 300 km from the front line. Local accounts noted explosions and air-defense activity, while Russian authorities provided no detailed damage assessment. Separate claims regarding grain-terminal damage and U.S. requests to halt tanker strikes remain disputed across outlets.
