## 🎯 Key Points

- On the night of August 24, 2026, Krasnodar came under a massive drone attack, and warehouses in the city caught fire.
- According to RBC-Ukraine, the "TMM-K" warehouse covering about 9,000 sq. m with building materials was damaged; the theory is electronic warfare effects or a shot-down drone.
- Sources disagree: some point to a strike on Ozon hubs (~100,000 sq. m) and claim the deaths of children, which is not confirmed in the base text.
- The incident continues a series of nighttime fires: August 23 — the Izhorsky site in St. Petersburg, in July — Vsevolozhsk and a Wildberries warehouse.

On the night of August 24, 2026, Krasnodar came under a massive drone attack. According to reports from residents and monitoring Telegram channels, a series of strikes triggered fires in the city, including at a large warehouse facility. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a monitoring channel. The incident became the latest episode in a series of nightly UAV raids on Russian cities that have been recorded for several weeks in a row.

### What is known about the attack

Citizens on social media reported a large-scale drone raid on Krasnodar: explosions, sirens, and columns of smoke over industrial and warehouse zones. According to preliminary data, the warehouse building of the company "TMM-K" (TsMM-K), covering approximately 9,000 square meters, sustained damage. This facility reportedly stored and sold construction fasteners and hardware, hand and drilling tools, cutting discs, mounting foam, adhesives, sealants, chemical anchors, and other building materials — essentially a major wholesale warehouse base. A satellite image of the damaged facility was published in the Telegram channel exile_plus.

### The dual-use theory for the facility

Preliminary data suggests that the warehouse damage may have resulted from the effects of electronic warfare means or from a drone being shot down over the facility. At the same time, sources point to an alternative version: the facility may have had a dual purpose, making it difficult to accurately assess the nature of the damage at this stage. The official list of causes and the scale of the damage had not been published at the time of writing.

### Context: a series of incidents in St. Petersburg and Tver

The attack on Krasnodar fits into a series of nighttime fires at industrial facilities. The day before, on August 23, a major fire broke out at the Izhorsky industrial site in the Kolpinsky district of St. Petersburg, where military enterprises are located. Even earlier, in July, an industrial park in vsevolozhsk near St. Petersburg was on fire, and that same month massive drone strikes on St. Petersburg and Tver triggered a large-scale fire at at least one warehouse of the Wildberries network. Thus, Krasnodar became yet another point on the map of such incidents.

### Contradictory data

Here it is necessary to openly lay out the discrepancies between sources. First, the material is based on the warehouse of the construction company "TMM-K" covering about 9,000 sq. m, while a number of publications (zn.ua, Rambler) report a strike on giant Ozon warehouses and hubs covering nearly 100,000 square meters. These versions may either contradict each other or complement one another if several facilities were hit in the city. Second, some sources (livekuban.ru, Rambler) claim that children were killed as a result of the raid, whereas the base text and the RBC-Ukraine report make no mention of casualties. Until official confirmation is received, both versions — regarding the nature of the damaged facilities and the presence of human casualties — should be regarded as not fully verified.

Thus, the fact of a massive drone attack on Krasnodar on the night of August 24 and the outbreak of fires at warehouse facilities is confirmed by several independent sources. At the same time, the exact list of damaged buildings, their ownership, and the presence of casualties remain subjects of contradictory reports and require official clarification.
