"One of the radar stations was probably damaged, and there was also an explosion at the S-400 position. The military unit is located among summer cottage cooperatives, so the UAV debris fell on the cottage houses," the message adds.

Later, the Telegram channel clarified that the drones were targeting electronic intelligence facilities of the Russian Black Sea Fleet on the Fiolent. Previously, objects similar to radar antennas and satellite dishes had been spotted there.

"Summer residents say that the explosions were right above their houses and that there was probably an arrival at the military unit with antennas," the post says.

As a reminder, on Sunday, July 14, drones attacked two facilities in the city of Sudzha, Kursk region, Russia. Power and communication were partially cut off in part of the region.
