Gelendzhik Beaches Closed After Drone Attack Threat

Gelendzhik under drone attack again: all beaches closed, a vessel burning near the shore. Gelendzhik authorities have closed all beaches in the city and surrounding areas.

Consensus

All beaches in Gelendzhik and the surrounding rural districts (Kabardinsky and Divnomorskoye) were temporarily closed.
The closure was due to the threat of drone attacks and the operation of air defense systems.
Municipal leader Alexey Bogodistov announced the closures and issued evacuation warnings.
A drone attack occurred on August 3 in the Arhipo-Osipovka area near Gelendzhik, resulting in seven deaths and 58 injuries.
Evacuations were carried out, with people relocated to sanatoriums such as 'Privetlivy Bereg', 'Kuban', and 'Kavkaz'.
Residents and tourists were advised to avoid open areas near the sea, stay indoors, and avoid windows.
The incident occurred five days after the August 3 drone strike.
