Fire Point says Ukrainian Defense Forces used FP-1 strike drones to hit the Makhachkala Commercial Sea Port in Dagestan, with a direct hit on port infrastructure triggering a heavy fire. The port is Russia's only ice-free deep-water port on the Caspian Sea and served as a key transit point for Iranian kamikaze drones shipped to Russia. Through August 2026, it handled more than 2.9 million tonnes of cargo, including over 2.08 million tonnes of oil. #Russia
