Homes of Tuapse residents damaged in drone attack

Five private homes and one apartment building were damaged today as a result of a drone attack in Tuapse. A fire also broke out at the marine terminal.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," a drone attack on the night of April 16 in Tuapse killed two people and injured seven more. Sixty residential buildings were damaged, and five private homes were completely destroyed. In late April, several private homes near the oil refinery were severely damaged after further attacks. On May 5, authorities reported the relocation of families displaced by drone attacks into five apartments.

In the Tuapse District, UAV debris damaged the windows of one apartment building and five private homes, the Kuban regional task force reported today on its Telegram channel. "There are no casualties. Emergency and special services are working on the grounds in all cases," the report noted.

Furthermore, "UAV debris fell on the territory of a sea terminal," regional authorities noted. "There were no casualties. The falling drone fragments caused a fire, which was quickly extinguished," the task force reported.

The head of the district reported the same information on his Telegram channel today, without providing any further details.

Victims of the Tuapse attacks complained of a lack of assistance from the authorities

As a reminder, a regional state of emergency has been declared throughout the entire Tuapse Okrug .

On May 21, Tuapse resident Anastasia Guchapsheva, whose house caught fire due to a fire at an oil refinery in late April, complained that officials had failed to provide her with assistance for three weeks. The condition of the premises, which had not been dried out, had only worsened during this time.

On November 25, 2025, the apartment of another Tuapse resident, Evgeniya Tretyakova completely burned after a drone attack. She was forced to move to rented accommodation. At the end of April, Evgenia told the "Caucasian Knot" that she hadn't been provided with temporary housing for five months. "I've been renting an apartment for five months at my own expense. I haven't been provided with temporary housing. We've appealed to the authorities for help, but they're turning a deaf ear," she lamented.

Exactly six months after the fire, on May 25, Evgenia Tretyakova held a picket outside the administration building. The head of the Tuapse District, Sergei Boyko, met with the woman and promised to provide her with temporary housing while her apartment was being renovated.
