Overnight on 28 November, Russian regions of Krasnodar Krai and Rostov Oblast experienced significant drone attacks, with local authorities reporting damage and explosions.
Russian news Telegram channel Astra reported multiple drone strikes across the regions. Local residents in Slavyansk-on-Kuban and Krymsk within Krasnodar Krai confirmed explosions. Governor Veniamin Kondratyev acknowledged a “massive” unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attack on two districts.
In Slavyansk-on-Kuban, drone fragments reportedly fell onto a private residential property, breaking windows. A woman was allegedly injured. In the Krasnoarmeysk district’s Chigrin hamlet, a drone fragment allegedly damaged a house.
Eyewitnesses on social media suggested potential damage to a bridge over the Protoka River connecting Slavyansk-on-Kuban with Trudobelikivsky hamlet, with Astra speculating about possible road surface damage.
Residents in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, also reported explosions during the incident.
The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed its air defense systems intercepted 25 Ukrainian drones: 14 over Krasnodar Krai, six over Bryansk Oblast, three over Crimea, and two over Rostov Oblast. Consistent with previous reports, they did not disclose the number of drones that successfully reached their targets.
At the time of publication, Ukrainian officials had not commented on or confirmed these reported attacks.
