Drones reportedly strike in Krasnodar, Ministry of Emergencies releases footage and testimonies of affected individuals

A forest fire near the city of Gelendzhik is currently being fought by 403 firefighters, with aviation dropping 865 tons of water to contain the blaze. However, this incident is unrelated to any reported injuries or drone casualties in the Krasnodar region.

Recently, a fake video about drone accident victims in Krasnodar was circulated online, causing panic among residents of the Kuban capital. The Krasnodar Territory MCHS reported that the information in the video was false, and clarified that no such drone incident or injuries occurred in Krasnodar.

The video in question featured Deputy Chief of the MCHS Andrei Potakhov, but he did not make any such statements. The source of the fake video remains unknown, and the authorities are investigating its spread as a criminal act.

Contrary to the claims in the video, no actual injuries or drone casualties were reported in the Krasnodar region. The source of the forest fire near Gelendzhik remains unknown, and the authorities are not currently investigating it as a criminal act.

It's important to note that the forest fire near Gelendzhik is a separate event from the ongoing investigation into the spread of the fake drone video. The name of the person shown in the video, who was claimed to report on drone accident victims in Krasnodar but identified by authorities as misinformation, is not publicly confirmed.

In summary, while a forest fire near Gelendzhik is being addressed by the authorities, it is unconnected to any reported incidents in the Krasnodar region. Meanwhile, the authorities are investigating the spread of a fake drone video as a criminal act. It's crucial for the public to be vigilant against misinformation and to rely on official sources for accurate information.
