An explosive drone was utilized in an assault on a Russian holiday destination favored by Vladimir Putin in the summer, posing a potential threat and danger.
Videos on Telegram show a fire near the Adler International Airport in the city of Sochi, where they had the Winter Olympics in 2014.
A lot of thick, black smoke is coming out of a tank this morning. The tank has a lot of diesel fuel inside.
People thought that the city was attacked for the first time by a drone from Ukraine that was meant to cause a lot of damage.
An oil storage area in Sochi caught fire and exploded because a drone crashed into a tank containing diesel fuel.
One person reported hearing a loud noise like thunder before the fire started at 5am.
One possible explanation for what occurred is that a drone was used to launch an attack. People living nearby heard a big boom at around 5 am, according to someone.
Thick, dark smoke was seen in Sochi, but officials said that it did not affect the flights at the airport, which is an important place for tourists.
The fire occurred about 30 miles away from the president’s official home, Bocharov Ruchey. He had a meeting with Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko there last weekend.
Viktor Alksnis, a military strategist and politician from the Soviet Union, also known as the Black Colonel, quickly expressed his belief that Ukraine was aiming for the mansion.
Putin often governs Russia from Sochi, especially during the summer. Sochi is also the main base of his rumored lover, Alina Kabaeva, who is in charge of a prestigious gymnastics academy in the resort.
“He said that it appears the president’s favorite vacation spot, the Bocharov Ruchey residence near Sochi, will not be available for security reasons. ”
Ukraine is actively searching for Putin. If it is true that a Ukrainian drone attacked the Bocharov Ruchey residence, then it would be the third time someone tried to attack his official homes using a UAV.
The first attack happened on May 3 at the Kremlin and the second attack happened on September 5 at Zavidovo, which is Putin’s hunting palace in the Tver region.
Many firefighters came to the place, and there is a video that shows them battling the fire.
The governor of Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratyev, said that the incident happened. He also said that more than 60 firefighters and 15 pieces of equipment were sent to the location.
There is no danger of a fire spreading. We are finding out why the incident happened.
