UAVs attacked Sochi and did not reach Putin's residence a little - British intelligence

The attack damaged the landing site at the local airport and a fuel tank. The drones attacked the Black Sea resort of Sochi for the second time in two weeks. The city houses the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter. According to British intelligence, on October 1, 2023, the drones attacked Sochi. The location of the helicopter was damaged at the local airport. The previous attack on Sochi occurred on September 20.

The drones caused a large fire in the oil storage facility near the airport. It was the first fixed blow to Sochi after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "Sochi is a popular place to relax with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and serves as a summer base for many representatives of the Russian elite," intelligence notes. British intelligence suggests that sochy blows show that war directly affects the Russians who are far from the border with Ukraine.

At about 5:15 am on September 20, an explosion was in Sochi in the city of Sochi, and a pillar of black smoke was raised above the city. Later it became known that a fuel tank caught fire near the airport in the Adler district. According to the governor of Krasnodar region Veniamin Kondratiev, the fire area was 96 square meters. No one was injured.
