According to local residents, several drones participated in the attack, with one hitting the territory of a military unit within the city. Another drone was intercepted before it could cause additional damage.
Videos recorded at the site clearly show the moment of impact, revealing the presence of the drone and the impact site, which included a naval base. This base is strategic for Russia as it hosts ships from the Caspian Flotilla, where Kalibr cruise missiles, widely used in attacks on Ukraine, are launched.
The head of Dagestan and local authorities confirmed the drone attack, stating that an investigation has been launched to determine the details. However, residents reported that the drone impact occurred directly on the ground, contradicting some official statements.
Updated video footage captured by residents confirms the explosion and shows the affected areas.
Russian media reported that these drones are capable of covering distances of up to 3,000 kilometers, reinforcing the possibility of long-range operations.
According to official sources, the seaport of Kaspiysk was allegedly targeted by six drones. However, social media reports from locals suggest that there were even more drones.
Following the attack, Russian military personnel blocked many streets near the port, indicating heightened security measures in the region.
This attack illustrates the increasing capabilities of drones in modern warfare, particularly in striking military targets far from the front lines.
