> Russia suspended crude exports from the Sheskharis terminal at Novorossiysk after a new drone warning on Aug. 14, Reuters reported, citing three industry sources. A tanker left without loading, and the port then halted crude handling. The move followed Ukraine’s large-scale Aug. 12 strike, which damaged port infrastructure, according to monitoring channels.
