Fourteen drones were shot down in two regions of the Southern Federal District.

Last night, the military shot down 10 drones in the Krasnodar region and four in Adygea. Another 15 drones were shot down over the Azov and Black Seas.

As "Caucasian Knot" reported, last night there was a drone attack in the Volgograd region. In the Oktyabrsky district, "as a result of the fall of UAV debris," a fire broke out at an oil depot, the regional administration reported.

Alerts about the threat of drone attacks in the Volgograd region have become daily, but the actual appearance of UAVs is not always preceded by a warning, local residents told "Caucasian Knot" earlier.

Last night, air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 59 Ukrainian drones, including 10 in The Ministry of Defense reported on its Telegram channel that one drone was shot down in the Krasnodar Krai and four in Adygea.

According to the publication, another 11 drones were shot down over the Black Sea and four over the Sea of Azov. The rest were destroyed in the Bryansk, Lipetsk, Kaluga, Moscow, Belgorod, Voronezh, Smolensk, and Tula regions, and in Crimea. The ministry did not mention the Volgograd region.

The Kuban operational headquarters and the head of Adygea, as of 7:55 a.m. Moscow time, had not reported any drone attacks on their Telegram channels.

In September 2025, a ban was imposed in the Krasnodar Krai on the dissemination of information about drone attacks and their consequences, as well as on filming air defense operations, military facilities, and critical infrastructure. In December, Kuban authorities introduced fines for filming aerial attacks and air defense operations. A corresponding bill of the regional legislative assembly was published on the "Caucasian Knot."

Recall that residents of the villages of Afipskoye and Ilskoye in the Seversky District of Kuban, where oil refineries are located, regularly suffer from drone attacks. For example, on December 14, 2025, Kuban authorities reported that during a drone attack, "UAV debris" damaged five private homes in the village of Afipskoye.

The oil refineries themselves have also been repeatedly attacked by drones. On November 29, 2025, an airstrike caused a fire at a refinery in the village of Afipsky, evacuating workers. The fire was extinguished the same day.

On September 7, 2025, equipment at the Ilsky Oil Refinery caught fire as a result of an airstrike. Authorities reported promptly extinguishing the fire.
