MOSCOW, Nov 14 (Reuters) - The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which exports oil from Kazakhstan via a Russian Black Sea terminal, suspended oil loadings after a Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk, a source familiar with the situation said on Friday.
The source said the suspension was standard procedure in such situations when a city-wide air raid alert had been announced and that loadings are resumed once the alert is cancelled - weather conditions permitting.
A Ukrainian drone attack early on Friday damaged a docked ship, apartment buildings and an oil depot in the port of Novorossiysk, a key outlet for Russian oil exports, Russian officials said.
