A Ukrainian drone strike in Russia’s Krasnodar Region on Saturday killed two children and one adult, with another adult injured, according to Governor Veniamin Kondratyev.
The attack targeted the Yeysk district, damaging homes and civilian infrastructure.
“ heating” A family has suffered as a result of yet another vile and cynical strike by the Kiev regime,” Kondratyev wrote on Telegram. “I express my sincere condolences, but no words can bring comfort to their loved ones.”
The two adult victims were hospitalized; one later died. Emergency services worked at sites where the drones landed in a residential area. Drone debris also struck an enterprise at the local port, sparking a fire.
Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that multiple Russian regions were targeted by a large-scale drone raid overnight. It stated air defenses intercepted and destroyed 457 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs over Krasnodar Region, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.
Authorities have declared a day of mourning in Yeysk district, canceling all entertainment events.
District head Roman Bublik said Russian forces repelled the mass drone attack and shot down most of the UAVs but casualties could not be avoided. He expressed condolences to victims’ relatives and confirmed that injured individuals would receive necessary medical care.
