TL;DR

Municipal authorities in the Russian Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk reported a drone attack on the city, according to Israeli media. Details on damage, casualties, or the type of drones used have not yet been released.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Local authorities in the Russian Black Sea port city of Novorossiysk reported a drone attack on the city early Wednesday, according to N12. The report did not specify the extent of damage, casualties, or the type of drones involved. The attack comes amid a broader pattern of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian territory, primarily targeting energy infrastructure and military sites, but increasingly residential areas as well. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian cities — including Sochi, Oryol, and Reutov — have become a recurring feature of the war, with Russian air defenses frequently struggling to intercept small, low-flying UAVs.
