Sounds like some kind of oil port facility, according to this:
A Ukrainian drone attack on Friday damaged three apartment buildings, an oil depot, and coastal structures in the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. Fragments hit apartments, smashing windows but causing no injuries. An oil depot and coastal structures were also damaged. Further details remain sparse.
The drone attack also affected an oil depot within a trans-shipment complex and coastal facilities, though specifics on the extent of the damage have not been disclosed.
EDIT: Here’s something from a more-respectable source:
Ukrainian drones damage ship, dwellings, oil depot in Russia’s Novorossiysk
Nov 14 (Reuters) - A Ukrainian drone attack early on Friday damaged a ship in port, apartment buildings and an oil depot in the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, injuring three crew members of the vessel, Russian officials said.
The operational headquarters of the Krasnodar region said on Telegram that the three injured crew members were being treated in hospital.It said drone fragments hit at least four apartments, smashing windows but causing no injuries.
The attack also triggered a fire at an oil depot in a transshipment complex, which was brought under control by emergency crews. The operational headquarters said coastal structures were also damaged, but provided no further details.
Reuters could not verify the account of the attacks and there was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials.EDIT2:

The attack hit the Sheskharis oil complex, where infrastructure facilities were damaged and a blaze broke out.
Was gonna say a fire leading to a large singular explosion says oil or weapons factor to me.
Don’t worry, the only one really hurt is the climate, but I’m sure it can take a few more gigatonnes of CO2 every day, no biggie; surely the amazon rainforest will absorb it - it is the world’s carbon sink, after all.
Applying “kinetic sanctions” to Russian oil exports will wean the world off oil and save CO2 in the long run.
In totally unrelated news, here in Germany - after the political clusterfuck of the last years about heat pumps has silenced - in 2025 heat pumps more and more become home owners heating system of choice.
And I don’t worry about blowing these depots up to drive back the aggressor in a war in an manner of ecology, I do worry about fossils still being one of our main energy sources.
Well, the oil that was there was bound to be burnt, it just did so much faster. And now there’s one less oil processing plant so the production will be reduced. Net positive for the environment?
