Several high-rise buildings were damaged in a drone attack in Kuban.
Drone debris struck multi-story buildings in Anapa and Sochi, and the courtyard of a multi-story building in Krasnodar. Authorities confirmed there were no casualties.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," a drone attack destroyed the roof of a private home in the Adler district. Authorities promised assistance to the homeowner.
In Anapa, residents were evacuated from an apartment building struck by drone debris. One hundred residents, including 28 children, were evacuated to a safe distance while necessary measures were taken. The Krasnodar Krai task force reported today that residents do not require temporary accommodation.
In the Lazarevsky District of Sochi, a fire broke out in a multi-story building caused by falling drone debris. A fire started in an apartment on the top floor of a five-story building and has been contained. District administration officials are working with residents to provide necessary assistance. There are no injuries, according to another report.
Also in Sochi, drone debris fell on the Stavropolye sanatorium, which has been closed for several years. There was no fire or serious damage. There were no injuries.
In Krasnodar, drone debris was found near a residential building. The fragments fell in the courtyard of an apartment building in the Prikubansky District, according to another report.
As a reminder, on March 8, the mayor of Sochi reported drone debris found in various areas of the city. In the Adler District, shrapnel damaged a bus, but passengers were uninjured. A contact line was damaged on the railway tracks near Loo station.
On August 3, 2025, in the Adler district of Sochi, a woman suffered shrapnel wounds as a result of a drone attack near an oil depot and a garage cooperative on Aviatsionnaya Street.
In July of that year, the area around this garage cooperative also became the epicenter of a drone incident. On the night of July 24, two women were killed there, and 11 others were injured. Garage tenants complained after the incident that they had not received compensation for their lost property. Sochi residents explained to the "Caucasian Knot" that these garages are suitable for residential use, and people live there.
When she called me in the middle of the night, my heart sank.
"My friend, Elena, lives there with her small children, right in the garages on Aviatsionnaya Street. When she called me in the middle of the night, my heart sank. She was crying. She was hysterical. She said that she and her husband managed to get the children ready five minutes before their residential garage was destroyed," said Sochi resident Natalya.
In September 2025, a ban was introduced in the Krasnodar Krai on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on filming air defense systems, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, the Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming air attacks and air defense operations. The "Caucasian Knot" has published the corresponding bill of the regional legislative assembly.
