As Krasnodar Krai governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported on Telegram, “Ten people were injured in the attack on the warehouse complex in Krasnodar. Three are in serious condition, one is in moderate condition… The warehouse continues to deal with the aftermath of the night attack and fight the fire.” UAV debris also struck two apartment buildings in Krasnodar and two private homes in the stanitsa (village) of Dinskaya, the governor wrote.
Vladimir Vladimirov, the governor of the neighboring Stavropol Krai, also reported a drone attack on a warehouse complex located “on the outskirts of Nevinnomyssk.” Five people are reported injured.
