Combustion products from the fire at the Wildberries warehouse in Krasnodar could reach Putin's palace in Gelendzhik

This is indicated by a forecast from the Meteoweb project, according to Russian media reports.

According to the forecast, smoke particles could reach the Black Sea coast—specifically Tuapse—as early as between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. local time. Around 9:00 p.m., they could be approximately 15 km from Putin’s palace.

By 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, the forecast indicates that the smoke could cover Gelendzhik itself and the area near the palace, as well as approach Novorossiysk.

At the same time, the concentration of combustion products in the area around the palace is forecast to be significantly below the maximum permissible level and will correspond to a low level of air pollution.

Combustion byproducts may spread to Maykop, Lazarevskoye, and Ust-Labinsk at the same concentration. A higher, but still safe, concentration is forecast for Tuapse and Apsheronsk. An even higher level of pollution may be observed in the Goryachy Klyuch area.

Meteoweb is an amateur project run by meteorologists and astronomers. It has previously forecasted the spread of pollutants following other attacks on Russian infrastructure.

This is not the first time that the effects of Ukrainian attacks have been felt near Putin’s palace in Gelendzhik. Last August, according to Russian sources, a Ukrainian drone caused a forest fire near the palace.

As a reminder, on the night of July 22, the Krasnodar and Stavropol regions of Russia were attacked by drones. Large-scale fires broke out at Wildberries logistics centers.
