俄羅斯侵犯烏克蘭而導致全球糧食短缺風險大增,歐美各國譴責俄羅斯將糧食「武器化」,上月宣布退出「黑海穀物倡議」(Black Sea Grain Initiative),之後竟刻意鎖定烏克蘭出口穀物的地點進行轟炸,摧毀大量穀物。烏克蘭近日於夜間出動無人艇攻擊俄羅斯諾沃羅西斯克(Novorossiysk)附近黑海海軍基地,根據2名消息人士,一艘俄羅斯戰艦受到嚴重損壞。
路透社報導提到,根據在此運營石油碼頭的「裏海石油管線」(Caspian Pipeline Consortium, CPC),諾沃羅西斯克港口短暫停止所有船舶活動,現已恢復正常運作。這個港口處理的石油占世界供應量2%,同時也出口穀物。俄羅斯國防部在一份簡短聲明中宣稱,烏克蘭出動的2艘無人艇已在基地外的水域被擊退,無人艇已被摧毀。俄國國防部並未提及任何損失。
然而,一名烏克蘭情報消息人士則表示,烏克蘭海軍與烏克蘭國家安全局(SBU)進行的聯合任務,使俄國海軍登陸艦「奧列涅戈爾斯基礦工號」(Olenegorsky Gornyak)受到嚴重破壞,無法執行戰鬥任務。這艘登陸艦受到無人艇攻擊時,載有約100名俄軍以及450公斤TNT炸藥。
另一名熟悉港口運營情況的消息人士透露,一艘大型俄國海軍艦艇因為被破壞後無法靠自身動力移動,而被拖上岸。俄羅斯網上4日也流傳著幾段影片,內容顯示黑海的諾沃羅西斯克港口在清晨傳出巨大爆炸聲、槍聲,一艘烏克蘭無人艇在海上靠近俄羅斯軍艦,而該軍艦的左舷嚴重傾斜。
