Deadly Ukrainian drone attack hits ferry port in Krasnodar, Russia says

by VOA News

   Russian officials said Tuesday a Ukrainian drone attack hit a ferry
   port in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar, killing at least one
   person.

   The attack struck Port Kavkaz and also injured some other port workers,
   Krasnodar Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said on Telegram.

   Russia's defense ministry said Tuesday it destroyed 25 Ukrainian aerial
   drones, including 21 over the Black Sea and Russia-occupied Crimea.

   Vyacheslav Gladkov, governor of the Belgorod region, said on Telegram
   that Ukrainian drones had struck vehicles in several villages, injuring
   at least five people.

   The governor of Bryansk reported no damage or injuries after air
   defenses shot down two Ukrainian drones.

   Officials in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine said Tuesday a
   Russian drone attack damaged an energy facility, knocking out power to
   50,000 people.

   The Ukrainian military said the country's air defenses shot down seven
   of eight Russia drones deployed in overnight attacks, and that a
   Russian guided missile did not reach its target.

   Serhiy Lysak, governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, said Tuesday on
   Telegram that a Russian kamikaze drone injured three people and damaged
   several homes in Marhanets. An earlier drone attack hit the city of
   Nikopol, but there were no casualties, Lysak said.
