Ukrainian sea drones struck the waterfront in Sochi on the evening of September 9, injuring 28 people including two children, according to Krasnodar Krai's operational headquarters. The strike happened around 9 p.m. during a concert at the Festivalny House of Culture, forcing an evacuation as explosions sounded nearby.
Witnesses described panic among beachgoers who initially watched the spectacle before fleeing once blasts landed close by, with no shelter available on the waterfront. A fire broke out, though Sochi's mayor characterized the damage to glazing and facades as minor and said beaches would remain closed until cleanup finished.
Russia's Investigative Committee opened a terrorism case, asserting Ukraine deliberately targeted the resort area.
