A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded at least three others in southern Russia on Saturday, regional officials said. The attack damaged port infrastructure in the Temryuk district on the Sea of Azov, near the Kerch Strait that separates mainland Russia from the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow has occupied since 2014.
Krasnodar region Governor Veniamin Kondratyev posted on Telegram that a fire broke out at a maritime terminal due to falling drone debris. According to preliminary information, one person was killed and at least three were wounded. A total of 96 people were mobilized to fight the fire.
The Russian military said it shot down 177 Ukrainian drones overnight. Ukraine has intensified its campaign of strikes inside Russia in recent months, describing them as retaliation for Moscow's large-scale bombardments throughout the conflict, which has lasted over four years. Kyiv insists its forces primarily target military sites and energy infrastructure to reduce Kremlin's revenue from fossil fuels.
