That day in 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 threat of drone attacks was not cancelled. Social media users called this behavior reckless. Civilians in the coastal areas of Kuban resorts risk becoming accidental victims of drone and unmanned boat attacks, so the evacuation of vacationers from the beaches was a justified precaution, confirmed experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot."
