Military exercises involving live-fire drills scheduled for August 14 in Novorossiysk.
In a recent announcement, the press service of the city administration confirmed that military exercises with live firing will be held in Novorossiysk on August 14. The exact nature and purpose of these exercises were not specified in the announcement.
During the exercises, all small vessels and watercraft, including those not subject to state registration, will be prohibited. Underwater work and diving are also off-limits, while unmanned boats and UAV attack repellent practices will be conducted.
The training events are scheduled to take place both during the day and evening, from 14:00 to 18:00 and from 21:00 to 23:00. The announcement did not specify if the exercises will be open to the public or media.
It's worth noting that Novorossiysk remains a site of active military operations and incidents. Recent events include the killing of five elite Russian divers investigating a Ukrainian sea drone in the Novorossiysk bay on August 22, 2025. The broader region has also experienced ongoing military tensions and activity, as seen in August 2025 around Novorossiysk and the Black Sea.
However, relevant context suggests that if any military exercises with live firing occurred in Novorossiysk on August 14, they were either unreported publicly or overshadowed by other military incidents. The announcement did not provide details about the participating military units or forces, and no specific restrictions related to such exercises are documented in the available information.
Citizens are advised to stay informed and follow any official updates regarding the military exercises in Novorossiysk on August 14. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
