Russia has complained about arrivals at the Kavkaz port in Krasnodar Krai. Preliminary, a railroad ferry was hit.
After the explosions, ambulances and fire trucks rushed toward the port. Russians wrote about this in local chat rooms, and the Crimean Wind Telegram channel drew attention to it.
Russians in local chat rooms in the Krasnodar region of Russia are actively discussing a possible arrival at the Kavkaz port.
"Minus the railroad ferry, it looks like a great hit," writes one commenter, outraged by comments about the "super work" of Russian air defense.
Residents also claim that there is a fire in the port area.
Crimean Wind subscribers report that the ferry arrived in the morning. After the explosions, ambulances and fire trucks rushed toward the port.
At the same time, administrators of Russian publics actively deleted any references to the alleged arrival and eventually closed the possibility of commenting under posts about how Russian air defense "shot down" 21 drones over the Black Sea and occupied Crimea.
Meanwhile, even Z-publics provided indirect confirmation of the success of the morning attack by the Defense Forces, writing that Russian air defense detected the missile and let it reach the "civilian infrastructure of the port of Kavkaz."
Later, the arrival was confirmed by the governor of the Krasnodar Territory, Veniamin Kondratiev. According to him, the ferry was attacked by drones, and there is a dead man and wounded.
"The Kyiv regime has once again attempted a terrorist attack on the territory of the Krasnodar Territory. This morning, drones attacked a ferry ship in the port of Kavkaz. Emergency services are now working at the scene. The fire is localized and there is no threat of fire spread. Unfortunately, there are injured and dead among the crew and port employees. I express my sincere condolences to their families and friends. The victims are being provided with all necessary assistance," the Russian official said.
Meanwhile, TASS propagandists, citing emergency services, reported that at least five people were injured. Both the injured and the deceased are Russian citizens.
According to the Defense Express portal, this time the Conroe Trader ferry was most likely hit. This is one of the two rail ferries available to the occupiers that ply the Kerch Strait. At the same time, another one, Avangard, was already disabled on May 30 this year: Defense Express notes that it got a hole in the engine room and completely lost its buoyancy. It took the invaders three weeks to prepare it for towing to the Kerch Shipyard.
At the same time, the Conroe Trader also sustained some damage to its side, but it retained its functionality - temporarily, as the events of July 23 showed. And if it was a rail ferry that was hit that day, it could only have been that one.
At the same time, the portal adds, it is possible that one of the five car ferries was targeted: the large Lavrentiy, Panagia, Maria, and the smaller Kerch-2 and Eisk.
As reported earlier, the day before, it became known that the GUR's drones had struck a refinery in Tuapse . At least eight drones flew into the refinery. Meanwhile, Russian propaganda talked about the impact of "drone debris," but in fact, propagandists only confirmed the damage to the refinery's infrastructure. In addition, eyewitnesses filmed a video of the hit.
