A woman injured in the drone attack in Novorossiysk has been discharged from the hospital.

A Rostov-on-Don resident who was seriously injured in a drone attack on Novorossiysk in May 2025 has been discharged from the hospital after nine months of treatment.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," on May 3, 2025, residential buildings in Novorossiysk were damaged as a result of a drone attack. In one of the buildings, four members of one family—a man, a woman, and two children—were injured. A man was injured at a different address and received medical treatment at the scene.

A Rostov-on-Don resident injured in the drone attack in Novorossiysk on May 3, 2025, has been discharged from the hospital, RBC reports, citing the press service of the Rostov Region Ministry of Health.

The 42-year-old patient was in the emergency hospital in Rostov-on-Don; she spent more than 190 days on a ventilator, according to a post on the ministry's Telegram channel. "Today she is breathing on her own, is conscious, and can communicate with her loved ones," doctors reported.

A long period of rehabilitation lies ahead.

The woman and her husband were previously transported to Rostov-on-Don from Krasnodar, the report noted. "The patient was diagnosed with severe combined mine-blast trauma, multiple fractures, and burns that required skin grafts. […] A long-term rehabilitation phase lies ahead. The woman has been discharged for outpatient observation and referred for further rehabilitation," the Ministry of Health reported.

As a reminder, after the attack in Novorossiysk, authorities reported that 192 apartments were damaged during the attack, with six apartments destroyed.

In September 2025, a resident of one of the buildings reported that she had been living with her children in an apartment with a missing wall for almost six months. "This has been going on for five months, and the administration spent two months calculating the estimate. That means there's been a contractor for three months. I live with my 13-year-old child in this dilapidated apartment. I feel like we can't live like this at all: what if my daughter falls out?" she complained.

It's worth noting that on September 24, 2025, after another drone and unmanned boat attack on Novorossiysk and Tuapse, two people were killed and 14 more injured. That day, people in Novorossiysk, Tuapse, Gelendzhik, and Sochi were ordered to leave beaches due to the threat of drone attacks from the sea and air. However, in Sochi, some vacationers returned to the beach. Social media users called this behavior reckless.

Civilians in the coastal areas of Kuban resorts risk becoming accidental victims in attacks, so the evacuation of vacationers from the beaches was a justified measure, experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" confirmed.
