The Korсakovsky District is located in southern Sakhalin Oblast, Russia. It has been noted for hosting a drone port named 'Pushty', where a civilian drone flight from Kunashir Island to the district was conducted over 420 km under civil aviation regulations. The area experienced a magnitude 4.4 earthquake with its epicenter 92 km east of the village of Pikhtoyve in the district, though it was not felt in populated areas. A court case in February 2026 involved violations of safety rules on a construction site within the district.
