[Regnum) The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to sabotage the bay of the Novorossiysk Naval Base using an underwater drone. No Russian ships or submarines were damaged, Captain First Rank Alexei Rulev, head of the Black Sea Fleet press service, reported on December 15.

"The enemy's attempt to sabotage the enemy using an unmanned underwater vehicle failed to achieve its objectives. The information disseminated by Ukrainian intelligence services about the alleged destruction of one of the Black Sea Fleet's Russian submarines in Novorossiysk Bay at the Naval Base is untrue," he assured.

Rulyov emphasized that not a single ship or submarine of the Black Sea Fleet stationed in the bay of the Novorossiysk Naval Base, nor their crews, were harmed as a result of the sabotage; they are serving as usual.

On the morning of November 29, Ukrainian naval drones attacked the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in Novorossiysk. Loading and other operations at the oil terminal were cancelled as a result. No one was injured in the attack, and emergency protection prevented oil from spilling into the Black Sea.
