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.
