Gelendzhik

Air raid sirens have sounded in Gelendzhik on October 3, with reports linking the alerts to drone activity near the Black Sea coast of Krasnodar region, close to Novorossiysk. Local media in Kuban are reporting on what is known so far, and residents across the area are discussing the alerts and the ongoing threat of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Russia's Investigative Committee says it has established those involved in attacks in Gelendzhik and Nizhnekamsk. The announcement is drawing attention in the Tatarstan industrial city, where residents are following developments in the case and questions remain about the nature of the attacks and what consequences the identified suspects may face.

Gelendzhik airport is among the destinations people are checking for updates, as travellers seek information on delays, diversions and whether service is operating normally.
