On the night of 10 September 2026, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine hit the “Makhachkala Commercial Sea Port” in the Republic of Dagestan, Russian Federation. A fire was recorded on the premises. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The extent of the damage is being clarified. Note that the Makhachkala Commercial Sea Port is the only ice-free deep-water Russian port on the Caspian Sea and an important transport and logistics hub. "The port plays a key role in the Russia–Iran logistics corridor across the Caspian Sea to circumvent Western sanctions. Military-purpose shipments move along this route in both directions: from Iran to Russia — components and strike UAVs of the ‘Shahed’ type; from Russia to Iran — explosives, drone components, and munitions. A base of the Russian Caspian Flotilla is stationed near the port," the report says. The General Staff noted that, based on analysis of additional data, the fuel oil storage facilities in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai, Russian Federation, were confirmed hit on 9 September 2026, and at least three enemy ships were struck: the small sea minesweeper Zheleznyakov, the frigate Admiral Essen, and the large landing ship of project 11711 Petr Morgunov. "Work on the enemy’s key military targets continues. More to come!" the statement says. As Fakty reported, Russian forces are losing positions simultaneously on several sections of the front.
