Ukrainian forces continued drone attacks on Russia's Krasnodar Krai, with alarm sirens sounding in Novorossiysk and the "Carpet" plan implemented at Sochi's local airport between 10:35 PM and 11:05 PM UTC on October 2nd, 2025. The attacks involved drones from the air and potentially unmanned boats targeting Novorossiysk, according to a report from Vijesti11111. In addition to Novorossiysk, Ukrainian drones also attacked Sochi during this period. The "Carpet" plan, which signals a complete shutdown of air traffic, was enacted at the local airport. This follows earlier reports from October 2nd, 2025, where Ukrainian intelligence had stated that drone attacks across Russia had forced airport closures in Sochi and Gelendzhik as of 11:55 PM UTC. The report from Vijesti11111 also included commentary suggesting Ukrainian Cossacks on a Su-27 aircraft "dismantled the Podara Radists with a blow #GBU62," and referred to fleeing targets. Previous reports from the period of 10:06 PM to 10:35 PM UTC on October 2nd, 2025, indicated widespread Ukrainian drone activity across multiple regions, including Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Sumy, and Chernihiv, with some projectiles identified as likely "Iskander-K" missiles headed towards Poltava.
