In Tuapse, on April 18, they continued to clear the rubble of destroyed and damaged buildings, said municipal head Sergei Boyko. According to him, more than 90 volunteers have joined the work. "The weather is getting worse, so in houses where windows were blown out and have not yet been replaced, I have ordered that the windows be temporarily covered with film," the official said.

According to Rospotrebnadzor, the maximum permissible concentration of harmful substances in the air in Tuapse has not been exceeded, the report states.

In September 2025, the Krasnodar Krai imposed a ban on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on filming air defense operations, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense operations. The "Caucasian Knot" has published the corresponding bill of the regional legislative assembly.
