Woman hospitalized in Sochi after drone attack

A woman who received shrapnel wounds as a result of a drone attack in the Adler district, near a garage cooperative and an oil depot, required medical assistance and hospitalization.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, last night at an oil depot in the Adler district of Sochi, as a result of a drone attack, a 2,000 cubic meter tanker with oil products caught fire. The fire managed to spread to a second tank, after which the Ministry of Emergency Situations localized the fire.

A woman was injured as a result of "a UAV debris fall" in the Adler district, the Kuban operational headquarters reported on its Telegram channel at 13:14 Moscow time.

"She contacted medical workers after the incident on Aviatsionnaya Street. The woman was hospitalized in one of the Sochi hospitals with shrapnel wounds for inpatient examination. According to doctors, there is no threat to the victim's life," the publication says.

According to Yandex Maps, there are two garage cooperatives on Aviatsionnaya Street in Sochi. Rosneft facilities are located near one of them.

The area of the garage cooperative on Aviatsionnaya Street was already the epicenter of an incident with a drone less than two weeks ago. On the night of July 24, two women died there, and 11 more people were injured.

In addition, as a result of the attack, four garages on an area of 200 square meters burned down. Governor Venjamin Kondratyev, commenting on the incident, mentioned that the drone debris also ended up "on the territory of the oil depot."

After the incident, the garage tenants complained that they had not received compensation from the authorities for the lost property. Sochi residents explained that these garages are adapted for housing, and people live there.

"My friend  Elena lives there with her small children, right in the garages on Aviatsionnaya Street. When she called me in the middle of the night, my heart sank. She was crying. She was hysterical. She said that she and her husband managed to gather the children 5 minutes before their residential garage was blown away," Sochi resident Natalya told the "Caucasian Knot" in July.
