In a bold and meticulously coordinated drone operation, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) targeted key locations near the Russian Black Sea resort cities of Sochi and Adler early Thursday morning, dealing a blow to strategic infrastructure and spreading fear deep into Russian-occupied Georgian region Abkhazia.
One of the main targets was an oil facility in the village of Sirius, just outside Sochi. Russian officials confirmed the strike and urged civilians to stay away from the area due to ongoing safety concerns, as emergency crews responded to fires at the site.
In Adler district, drone debris killed one woman and seriously injured another. Several garages caught fire, and local footage showed scenes of destruction amid the quiet coastal area.
Russian media also released dramatic video showing a drone flying at extremely low altitude near the Mantera Supreme Hotel and the Fisht Olympic Stadium — iconic landmarks from the 2014 Winter Olympics that now underscore Russia’s growing vulnerability to long-range Ukrainian strikes.
The attack forced the temporary closure of Sochi International Airport, severely disrupting civilian air traffic and underscoring the effectiveness of Ukraine’s asymmetric tactics.

Why are people “war pigs” because they point out that you say crazy stuff?
I support whatever President Trump decides on the war. If you don’t support president Trump why should anyone value your rantings?
