Ukrainian sea drone strikes on Russian Black Sea resorts cause 165 casualties this season

Ukrainian sea drone attacks on Sochi and other Black Sea resorts in Krasnodar Krai have caused 165 casualties since May, a sharp increase from 37 in the same period last year. The escalation is concentrated in August and September, with 14 deaths in under two months. This marks a significant intensification of Ukraine's asymmetric strikes on Russian civilian infrastructure, raising questions about the effectiveness of Russian coastal defenses.
