In Novorossiysk, an attack by unmanned boats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Russian naval base was repelled all night, the head of the hero city, Andrei Kravchenko, said.
Residents were asked to leave the embankment, sirens sounded.
"Do not take or upload photos and videos of the work of air defense, means of protecting attack targets, the work of special and operational services to social networks," Kravchenko warned residents in his telegram channel.
At 1.43 local time he wrote:
"Apparently, the enemy's target was a naval base. The frames show the destroyed MBEC of the enemy. Novorossiysk is repelling the attack of unmanned boats. All services are in a state of maximum readiness. I ask you to remain calm, observe security measures."
He pointed out that in the area of the embankment from Isaev Street to Suvorovskaya Street, traffic is blocked, it is forbidden to walk along the embankment.
At 7.33, the head of Novorossiysk informed about the cancellation of the threat of the use of unmanned boats (BEC).
"There is no danger for the residents of Novorossiysk!" he added.
EADaily also adds that the telegram channel "Two Majors" criticized the "strange organization of the defense of our maritime spaces" in connection with this night attack on Novorossiysk.
"In the maritime spaces, today's attack by MBEK [unmanned sea boats] on Novorossiysk shows the incorrect application of resources and the still strange organization of the defense of our maritime spaces. Initiative groups with scanty support and special forces of the authorities have already proved the ability to effectively combat naval drones, but instead of expanding the positive experience, the military command grumbles at the "upstarts" with the expected negative result of its own. In general, there are still many "unused reserves", but no, no, they will report to the capital in the spirit of the song about the "beautiful marquise". This is probably due to the lack of criminal responsibility for unreliably informing the military authorities about the situation," the authors of the TC noted in their morning summary.
