USVs attack Tuapse in Russia at night

This was reported by the Astra Telegram channel, according to Ukrinform.

Residents wrote about explosions in the city, and the unmanned threat lasted for almost 8 hours.

Sergey Boyko, Head of the Tuapse municipal district of the Krasnodar region, announced that the threat of attacks by unmanned vessels and drones had been cancelled only at 8 a.m. Moscow time. He edited his initial message, removing the information about the unmanned vessels, but it remained in the Telegram channel of the Operational Headquarters for the Krasnodar region.

Initially, the Russian authorities did not comment on the consequences of the attack, and the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that seven UAVs had been shot down over the Black Sea.

Later, the Operational Headquarters in the Krasnodar region reported that “four unmanned vessels had been neutralized in the Black Sea near Tuapse.”

“One of the unmanned boats detonated near the coastline. The blast wave damaged the windows on the second floor of a two-story building, a garage, and a boat hangar. There were no casualties as a result of the incident. Special and emergency services are working at the site,” the statement said.

Andrii Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, confirmed the attack on Tuapse in his Telegram channel, writing: “There was a fire in the port of Tuapse at night.”

As reported by Ukrinform, on November 2, Russia reported a drone attack on the Black Sea coast, which caused a fire in the port infrastructure. It later became known that the port in Tuapse, Russia, suspended fuel exports, and the local oil refinery stopped exporting oil after the Ukrainian drone attacks on November 2.
