Residents of Gelendzhik, a Russian resort city, began experiencing citywide power outages on August 10 afternoon, according to news outlet 93.ru. A warning of potential Ukrainian drone attacks had been in effect since early morning, with sirens sounding periodically and beaches being closed. The outage affected surrounding villages and Novorossiysk as well.
In Krasnodar, over 70 traffic lights stopped functioning due to the same emergency power issue. The Gelendzhik municipal control center attributed the outage to the activation of an automated load-shedding system at a higher-level grid operator. Krasnodar Krai's emergency response headquarters estimated that power would be restored within two hours.
Ukrainian drones had been repeatedly attacking Krasnodar Krai in recent weeks; on August 3, one drone crashed and exploded on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka, killing seven people, including four children, and injuring many others.
