Reuters, (March 6) - Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk resumed oil loadings on Friday from its terminal after the suspension earlier this week following a drone attack, two sources familiar with the matter said. Russia's Sheskharis oil terminal, a major outlet loading some 700,000 barrels per day of crude oil, suspended oil loadings on Monday following a Ukrainian drone attack that injured five, damaged 20 buildings and set a fuel terminal on fire. The loading of oil on tankers resumed on Friday morning, the sources said. Most recently a cargo arrived in the port to load diesel, Reuters reported on Thursday. (Editing by Toby Chopra)
