Drone attack on Novorossiysk
This is one of the larger attacks that the Ukrainian Air Forces have launched recently. On the morning of May 3rd, drones attacked Novorossiysk - a port city on the Black Sea which, after multiple Ukrainian attacks on Sevastopol in Crimea, has recently taken over the role of the Black Sea Fleet base.
The mayor of Novorossiysk, Andrey Kravchenko, announced on his Telegram channel that he declared a state of emergency in the city following the Ukrainian drone attack.
So far, the Ukrainian side has not issued any official statement regarding the attack on Novorossiysk. However, Ukrainian media reporting on the events in the Russian city emphasized that Ukrainian drones' targets are never civilian infrastructure.
