Russisch-ukrainischer Krieg: Tote bei ukrainischen Drohnenangriffen auf Noworossijsk

Noworossijsk, a city in southern Russia, suffered at least four deaths and 29 injuries after Ukrainian drone attacks on Wednesday. Governor of Krasnodar region, Vitaly Kondratyev, reported the casualties via Telegram. Three of the injured are in critical condition. Eight residential buildings and a kindergarten sustained damage, according to Noworossijsk's mayor, Andrei Kravchenko.

The city declared a state of emergency, with 17 people being treated in hospitals. Additionally, three unspecified businesses, a church, two kindergartens, a school, and a polyclinic were damaged, with the polyclinic suffering severe damage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attack, stating that Ukraine is responding to Russia's daily "terror attacks".

Ukrainian drones targeted the Russian Black Sea Fleet's naval base, oil terminal, military port facilities, and Kalibr cruise missiles in Noworossijsk. Drone strikes were also reported in nearby resorts of Gelendsk and Anapa. The information cannot be independently verified. Russia has been at war with Ukraine since February 2022.

Ukrainian forces have been conducting counterattacks, including against targets deep within Russian territory, resulting in increasing civilian casualties.
