CCD: Drone crash on Gelendzhik beach caused by Russian air defense
The crash of a drone on a beach in Gelendzhik, Krasnodar Region of the Russian Federation, occurred as a result of the actions of Russian air defense.

According to Ukrinform, the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine stated this on Telegram.

According to CCD head Andrii Kovalenko, "this was the work of Russian air defense forces, which shot down a drone over a beach full of vacationers. And it was also the result of the miserable efforts of the Russian authorities, which often hide air-raid warnings or fail to do everything necessary to ensure the safety of Russians during such alerts."

"Responsibility for the deaths of Russians on the beach in Gelendzhik lies entirely with the Russian air defense forces, " he said.

"Ukraine uses its weapons exclusively against Russia's military-industrial complex and economic infrastructure that contributes to financing the war," Kovalenko stated.

According to media reports, during a drone attack on Russia's Krasnodar Krai on August 3, a drone fell onto a beach in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka, near Gelendzhik. Reports indicated that seven people were killed, including three children.
