The drone attack took place as part of wider Ukrainian attacks on August 28. Russian authorities reported attacks on unmanned aircraft in many regions, with locals recording fires in two oil refineries and a railway junction.
The Gelendzik area is of strategic importance because of its proximity to Putin’s mentioned home in the Black Sea, which has been the subject of extensive research reports.
