News Article: Drills Scheduled in Novorossiysk's Port Waters

The Novorossiysk administration has announced that the city will be hosting drills aimed at repelling air and sea drone attacks on the afternoon of September 19. The exercises, which are scheduled to take place from 14:00 to 18:00, will be held in the port's waters off the coast of Novorossiysk, a Kuban city-hero located on the Black Sea.

Underwater work and diving activities, as well as various water sports such as jet skis, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and similar crafts, will be prohibited during the drills. The on-duty forces of the Novorossiysk Naval Base will be conducting the drills, although the specific participating forces have not been disclosed in the available search results.

The drills are not a new occurrence, as similar exercises are held regularly off the coast of Novorossiysk. Unmanned boats and aircraft attack repelling practices are a key component of these exercises, with artillery fire from the breakwaters of the military harbour also being utilised.

The announcement about the drills was made through a telegram channel operated by the Novorossiysk administration press service. All small vessels and watercraft, including unregistered ones, are required to exit the area during the four-hour exercises. The public is advised to stay informed and to avoid the port during the scheduled time.

No specific information about the purpose of the drills was provided in the announcement. However, the importance of maintaining security and readiness in today's technological age cannot be overstated. The public is encouraged to cooperate with the authorities to ensure a successful and safe execution of the drills.
