Drones strike Makhachkala port in Russia's Dagestan, fire breaks out at port and theatre
In the night leading into 10 September, drones attacked the Makhachkala sea trade port in Russia's Dagestan, causing a fire in the port area. Reports from local chats and OSINT analysis identified the port as the likely target, while Russia's acting head of Dagestan, Fedir Shchukin, later confirmed a Ukrainian drone attack on the city and said air defence destroyed all aerial targets. A separate drone-boat strike on Sochi the previous evening injured eight people and damaged embankment infrastructure.
