Consequences of the Attack and Local Authorities’ Response
The governor of Krasnodar Krai, Veniamin Kondratyev, confirmed the fact of the drone attack in the region during the night. He stated that in the village of Sauk-Dere in the Krymsky district, a man was killed due to falling debris.

Since the onset of the full-scale aggression against Ukraine, facilities on Russian territory have repeatedly become targets of air strikes. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has repeatedly confirmed such attacks, noting that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are “systematically implementing measures aimed at reducing the combat potential of Russian occupation forces, as well as forcing Russia to cease its armed aggression against Ukraine.”
