The Novorossiysk Grain Terminal and the Novorossiysk Bread Products Plant both halted operations following the attack. The Novorossiysk Grain Terminal's parent company, United Grain Company, stated they would provide further details on repairs. No casualties were reported, but a child was killed and 12 people were hospitalized in the attack. The port, which has three grain terminals, mainly exports Russia's wheat, with most shipments passing through Black Sea ports.
