Drone attacks cause casualties in Russia, Ukraine and Crimea
Ukrainian drones struck Russian regions killing and wounding civilians, while Russian authorities shot down dozens of drones over Moscow. Conflicting reports exist on the number of wounded in one strike, and additional single‑source incidents were reported.
Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russia's southern Krasnodar region, killing one person, wounding three and sparking a fire at a maritime terminal after damaging port installations in the Temryuk district. A separate Ukrainian drone attack in the Russian city of Tula killed three people and wounded three. In Ukraine's northern Sumy region, drone attacks killed at least five people, including three members of the same family.
Moscow authorities shot down dozens of drones in the early hours of Monday and briefly suspended flights at airports. According to GDELT, almost 60 drones headed for Moscow were downed, and the Russian army said it had shot down a total of 177 Ukrainian drones overnight.
Accounts differ on the number of wounded in a particular drone and missile strike. Russia‑independent sources reported that the strike wounded more than 20 people, while other Russia‑independent reports said six residents were wounded. Meduza also reported both figures.
