Sea drones injure 8 in Russia’s Black Sea resort of Sochi
Beach infrastructure was damaged at the Black Sea resort where Russian president Vladimir Putin has an official residence.
Sea drones injured eight people in Russia's popular Black Sea resort of Sochi, authorities in the surrounding Krasnodar region reported on Telegram. The incident occurred late on Wednesday, causing partial damage to the beach infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin has an official residence in Sochi. Witnesses saw weapons being fired and an explosion, with screams heard on a social media post from an embankment in Sochi, which was confirmed by Reuters.
While Ukraine has been launching drones from the air, including deep into Russia to target its energy, export, and logistics infrastructure daily, attacks using sea drones are less common. Sochi, located on the Black Sea, previously hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic Games before Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, also situated on the Black Sea, from Ukraine. Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
