Russia's Krasnodar regional operational headquarters said Sochi and the federal territory of Sirius came under a mass drone attack targeting civilian infrastructure overnight. Drone fragments were found at multiple addresses, and windows were damaged in several residential homes and other buildings. Officials said smaller fires were quickly extinguished, while a separate fire broke out on the grounds of an oil depot. Preliminary information indicated no injuries. Operational and special services were working at the debris sites as authorities continued responding across the affected area.
