Reports of an attack at an oil terminal in Novorossiysk, Russia, located near a major base of Russia's Black Sea Fleet (BSF), will likely incite concerns among Russian commanders, reported the U.K. Defense Ministry.

The ministry said Russia moved many of its submarine operations to Novorossiysk following the strike on a Russian base in occupied Sevastopol.

“It would also further undermine Russia’s already reduced maritime influence in the Black Sea.”
