BBC Verify has been checking footage of a drone hitting a beach near the Russian Black Sea resort town of Gelendzhik.
Krasnodar Krai regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev posted on his Telegram account that six people had been killed, including three children. He said 40 more had been injured and blamed Ukraine for the attack. The Ukrainian military has so far not commented on the incident.
It’s been reported the drone may have been targeted at the Russian naval base at Novorossiysk which is around 40km (25 miles) from Gelendzhik.
We have geolocated the incident to Arkhipo-Osipovka, near Gelendzhik. Recency and AI checks confirm the footage is current and genuine.
