The Black Sea Coast's Chaotic Night
As reported by the Kuban 24 internet portal, the coastline of the Krasnodar region bore the brunt of Ukraine’s nighttime aggression on May 3. The peaceful city of Novorossiysk endured a vicious attack on civilian targets, leaving three residential buildings damaged and injuring a staggering four individuals—two of them innocent children. The destruction didn't stop there; debris from the drones also marred the city's grain terminal, damaging three storage tanks. Public transportation was suspended as a result of the threat, leaving citizens scrambling for alternative modes of transport.
