“The fire is localized, there is no threat of fire spread. Unfortunately, there are casualties and dead among the crew members and port employees. The victims are being provided with all necessary assistance,” he said.
Kavkaz sits near the Kerch Bridge that connects Russia with illegally occupied Crimea.
Russia’s defense ministry said it shot down 21 Ukrainian drones overnight and prevented them or the debris from causing any injuries.
Ukrainian officials did not comment on the reports of the attack.
In Russian drone attacks overnight, seven Iranian-type drones attacked civilian infrastructure in the Sumy region cutting off power to 50,000 customers.
