A fire broke out.
On the night of September 11, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a strike against strategic targets in the city of Kaspiysk, which is located in the Republic of Dagestan, part of the Russian Federation. According to preliminary reports, the attack targeted a local seaport. This was reported by “Dialog” citing social media monitoring.
The head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergey Melikov had not commented on the situation in the region at the time of publication. The central Russian authorities are also remaining silent. A video showing the aftermath of the attack was published by the Telegram channel “Crimean Wind.”
The Kaspiysk administration distributed recommendations via a messaging app on how to behave during a UAV attack. Typically, in Russia, this is done when a particular region comes under air attack—though residents are usually not officially informed about the attack itself. In addition, the city administration announced power outages on three separate power lines—those running from the substation to consumers or to a distribution point.

Residents of Kaspiysk reported on social media that Ukrainian drones had attacked the local seaport. Published photos and videos confirm this information.
Through the ports of Kaspiysk and Makhachkala, Russia receives military cargo from Iran via the Caspian Sea, including missiles and drones. This is precisely why the Ukrainian Defense Forces regularly launch strikes against Russian ports on the Caspian Sea.
As a reminder, the night before, on the night of September 10, a drone attack the port in Makhachkala was targeted—fires were also reported there, along with initial reports of casualties.
