A series of explosions were reported over Sochi just over an hour ago, with Russian sources claiming it was a drone attack, according to Russian Telegram channels.
Subscribers of the SHOT channel reported hearing 7 to 10 explosions starting at 5:50 a.m. local time in Lazarevskoye, Sochi. According to them, the blasts caused windows to shake in their frames and triggered car alarms.
Loud sounds were also noted by residents of Tuapse.
SHOT suggested that air defense systems allegedly responded to drones over the Black Sea.
The ASTRA channel recently cited a report from the Russian Ministry of Defense, which claims that air defense systems allegedly shot down 19 drones.
"9 were shot down over the territory of the Belgorod region, 5 over the Voronezh region, 3 over the Black Sea, and 1 each over the territories of the Kursk region and Krasnodar Krai," the statement said.
There is currently no information about any consequences.
On the night of Tuesday, December 17, the Russians reported explosions in the Voronezh region, attributing them to a drone attack.
Earlier, on the night of December 11, Ukraine's Intelligence drones targeted an oil depot in Russian Bryansk, as reported by RBC-Ukraine's sources in the intelligence services. As a result of the attack, at least two fuel tanks from the energy complex were destroyed.
