Rescuers found the bodies of three men in the Tuapse district and near Gelendzhik.

The first tragedy occurred in the village of Olginka near Naberezhnaya Street. A deceased man born in 1962 was pulled from the sea. Eight rescuers and three pieces of equipment worked at the scene.

Two more cases were recorded in the village of Kabardinka. One body was pulled from the sea in the area of Revolyutsionnaya Street. The deceased was a man born in 1973. Another drowned man was found on the coast near Kornitskogo Street; he was 45 years old. In each case, six rescuers and two pieces of equipment worked on site.

Investigative measures are currently being carried out for all three incidents. A total of 12 people drowned in the water bodies of Kuban over the week.

Residents and guests of the region are asked to follow simple rules:

  • do not swim in prohibited areas;
  • do not enter the water while intoxicated;
  • young children should swim under the continuous supervision of adults;
  • do not jump into the water from boats, motorboats, piers, and other structures not intended for this;
  • monitor weather conditions, do not swim during heavy waves, storms, or thunderstorms.

Black Sea

The Black Sea is a major inland sea located between Southeastern Europe and Western Asia, historically serving as a vital crossroads for trade, cultural exchange, and conflict for civilizations from the Greeks and Persians to the Ottomans and Russians. Its unique anoxic layer, which prevents life below certain depths, has also preserved ancient shipwrecks, offering an extraordinary underwater archaeological record.
