A total of four apartment buildings and two private homes were damaged, as well as an oil depot at the Sheskharis transshipment complex.

One apartment was damaged in the building on Suvorovskaya Street. Drone debris hit the apartment building on Engelsa Street, where one apartment was damaged.

"Caucasian Knot" also He wrote that on September 24, two people were killed and 14 injured after drones and unmanned boats attacked Novorossiysk and Tuapse. In Novorossiysk, nine of the 12 injured were hospitalized, and three more received outpatient care. In Tuapse, two people were hospitalized in moderate condition, one of them a minor.

That day, in Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, and Sochi, people were ordered to leave beaches and embankments due to the threat of drone attacks from the sea and air. However, in Sochi, some vacationers returned to the sea, despite the fact that the drone attack threat was not cancelled. Social media users called this behavior reckless. Civilians in the coastal areas of Kuban resorts risk becoming accidental victims in attacks by drones and unmanned boats, so the evacuation of vacationers from the beaches was a justified precaution, confirmed experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot."
