It was a turbulent night in southern Russia, as the Krasnodar region was hit by a massive drone attack. Residents of the region reported multiple explosions and flashes in the sky, accompanied by air defense systems. Eyewitnesses from various areas, including large cities and rural settlements, shared footage of shells hitting air targets on social media.
There is no official data on the number of attacking drones and the scale of damage. However, according to preliminary information, the air defense system was used to repel the threat over key infrastructure facilities. Local authorities confirmed that work is underway to localize the consequences of the incident and clarify the circumstances of the attack.
Eyewitnesses from Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, Sochi and other settlements in the region describe loud bangs and explosions heard from different directions. In some places, short-term power outages were recorded, which may be due to the impact of shrapnel on power lines.
