A drone attack has been reported.

A series of explosions were reported over Sochi (the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation) this morning, with Russian sources claiming it was a drone attack.

This has been reported by RBC-Ukraine with a reference to Russian Telegram channels.

In particular, subscribers of the SHOT channel reported hearing 7 to 10 explosions starting at 5:50 a.m. local time in Lazarevskoye, Sochi. According to them, the blasts “caused windows to shake in their frames and triggered car alarms”.

Loud sounds were also noted by residents of Tuapse.

SHOT suggested that air defense systems allegedly responded to drones over the Black Sea.

The ASTRA channel recently cited a report from the Russian Ministry of Defense, which claims that air defense systems allegedly shot down 19 drones.
