On the night of August 24, Krasnodar came under a massive drone attack. A fire broke out at one of the warehouses in the city following a series of strikes, according to a monitoring Telegram channel.
What is known about the attack
Residents of Krasnodar reported a large-scale drone attack on the city. As a result of the strikes, a warehouse building belonging to the company TSMM-K, covering an area of approximately 9,000 square meters, was damaged.
What was stored at the facility
The warehouse stored and distributed construction fasteners and hardware, hand and drilling tools, cutting discs, expanding foam, adhesives, sealants, chemical anchors, and other building materials — essentially a large wholesale warehouse and distribution center for construction supplies and tools.
According to preliminary information, the damage may have been caused by the effects of electronic warfare systems or the downing of a drone.

There is also a version that the warehouse may have had a dual purpose.
The day before, on August 23, a large industrial zone in St. Petersburg with military enterprises caught fire – the blaze broke out on the territory of the Izhora industrial site in the Kolpinsky district of the city.
Earlier, in July, near St. Petersburg in Vsevolozhsk, a fire broke out on the territory of an industrial park. That same month, drones launched a massive attack on St. Petersburg and Tver, causing a large-scale fire at at least one of the Wildberries warehouses.
