Russia orders halt to all nighttime ship movement at Novorossiysk port, Reuters reports

Russia has ordered a complete stop to nighttime ship movement at the port of Novorossiysk, according to a Reuters report. The move comes amid Ukraine's extensive attacks on Russian Black Sea shipping.

The order, reported by Reuters on Wednesday evening, halts all nighttime vessel movement at Russia's key Black Sea port. The move follows a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian shipping in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov in recent weeks, as The Zioneer has reported. The extent of the disruption to Russian maritime operations is not yet clear. The report did not provide details on the duration of the halt or whether it applies to military vessels.
