Oil-rich Kazakhstan has announced a cut in its production volumes following mass Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia.

The Kazakh Energy Ministry said on Thursday that the decision was prompted by the security situation at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal in the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, which has been targeted in Ukrainian drone attacks in recent weeks.

The consortium that uses the port to ship oil had previously protested against the Ukrainian strikes.

The ministry said the reduction in output was a temporary measure. Loading operations were “temporarily suspended to ensure the safety of vessels, crews and the environment in the Black Sea area,” it said, adding that technical facilities were functioning and ready for use should the situation normalize.
