Residents and guests of Novorossiysk, Russia, are being urged to remain calm and composed in response to a drone threat that has put the city on high alert. The alert, announced by Mayor Andrei Kravchenko, is part of a larger issue in the Krasnodar region that was announced earlier today, August 10.
When sirens sound in Novorossiysk, residents are advised to seek shelter immediately. Safe rooms include hallways, bathrooms, toilets, and pantries, which serve as potential shields from potential drone attacks. It is essential to avoid windows and be prepared for potential emergency evacuations or first aid if necessary.
The authorities have not yet provided any details about the nature or source of the drone threat. However, similar air defense and civil protection responses have been implemented in other Russian cities affected by Ukrainian drone attacks. These measures include the activation of sirens warning residents of incoming drone or missile attacks, suspension of public activities and flights, air defense operations targeting drones, and public advisories and emergency communication from local officials.
During the ongoing naval drone attack, sirens were sounded along Novorossiysk's coastline. The alert was later lifted, indicating the attack was repelled, but no specific details on damage or casualties were provided.

It is crucial for residents to stay updated and follow the instructions of local authorities and emergency services.
As the situation continues to develop, it is essential for everyone to stay vigilant and follow safety measures during drone or missile threats. This includes immediately seeking shelter in designated safe areas or basements, avoiding outdoor exposure, particularly near coastal or military target zones, and maintaining readiness for emergency services and evacuation orders.
