The military reported the downing of drones over the Black Sea.

Last night, drones were shot down over the Black Sea, the Ministry of Defense reported.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," last night, UAVs were destroyed in four districts of the Rostov Region: Tarasovsky, Kasharsky, Milyutinsky, and Rodionovo-Nesvetaysky, Governor Yuri Slyusar reported. According to the Ministry of Defense, there are no injuries.

Over the past night, air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 25 Ukrainian drones, including in the Rostov Region and over the Black Sea, the Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel.

According to the publication, the remaining drones were shot down in the Moscow, Vladimir, Belgorod, Kursk, Tula, Ryazan, Rostov, Voronezh, and Bryansk Regions.

The ministry did not specify how many drones were shot down in each region. As of 11:50 a.m. Moscow time, the Kuban emergency response center had not reported any air strikes on its Telegram channel.

As a reminder, on March 1st and 2nd, a drone attack in Novorossiysk injured seven people and damaged 17 residential buildings: eight apartment buildings and nine private homes. A state of emergency was declared in the city, which gives authorities expanded powers to address the incident. The attack damaged 76 private buildings and 38 apartment buildings, and authorities announced compensation for the victims.

On September 24, 2025, two people were killed and 14 more were injured following a drone and unmanned boat attack on Novorossiysk and Tuapse. That day, people were ordered to leave the beaches in Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, and Sochi, but in Sochi, some vacationers returned to the sea. Social media users called this behavior reckless.

Civilians in the coastal areas of Kuban resorts risk becoming accidental victims in attacks, so the evacuation of vacationers from the beaches was a justified measure, experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" confirmed.

In September 2025, a ban was imposed in the Krasnodar Territory on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on the filming of air defense operations, military installations, and critical infrastructure. In December 2025, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense operations. The "Caucasian Knot" published a corresponding regional legislative assembly bill.
