Warning Issued to Residents Over Unmanned Vessel Threat
Potential Airborne Aggression in Temryuk and Tuapsi Regions
Residents in Tuapse and Temryuk districts have been issued a warning about the potential danger of an attack by an unmanned surface vessel. These alerts were shared via the Unified State System for Preventing and Managing Emergency Situations' notification center in Krasnodar Krai.
- If you find yourself indoors, make your way away from windows and seek shelter in a room that doesn't have any glass, such as a hallway or storage area. If you're outside, find the closest building, parking garage, or underground passage and take cover there. If you're driving, exit the vehicle and head to the nearest building, protected area, or in the dips of the terrain - the notices advise.
Previously, we covered that the civil defense systems in Novorossiysk were activated due to the possibility of an attack from unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Recent happenings around Krasnodar Krai give context to the situation:- Rise of drone threats: Russian forces persist in launching Shahed drones from Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Krasnodar Krai against Ukraine, indicating a role of the region in testing and deploying unmanned systems.- Increased unmanned capabilities: Putin recently emphasized the expansion of ship-based unmanned aircraft and underwater/surface drones, while these comments pertain to offensive capacities rather than defensive measures.- Parade cancellations: Some Russian regions called off Victory Day parades due to fears of Ukrainian strikes, but this refers more broadly to air and missile attacks, not specifically unmanned naval threats.
The general security measures in Krasnodar Krai as they concern unmanned surface vessels are not readily found in search results. The region's current defensive strategy seems mainly focused on drone interception and missile defense, with no publicly announced precautions specifically addressing sea-borne unmanned threats.
