Ukrainian drone attacks injure 8
Ukrainian drones struck towns in southern Russia, injuring eight people and prompting the evacuation of several residents, local officials said early on Wednesday. The governor of the Adygean Republic in Russia's North Caucasus, Murat Kumpilov, said a drone struck an apartment building in a village in the Takhtamukaysky district, injuring eight people, including a child. Seven were being treated in hospital. Kumpilov, writing on Telegram, said at least 15 vehicles were set on fire. In the adjacent Krasnodar region on the Black Sea, Governor Venyamin Kondratiev said a drone fell near an apartment building in a village south of the main regional centre of Krasnodar. The building's residents had been evacuated and temporary shelters set up. Kondratiev said an attack on the coastal town of Primorsko-Akhtarsk had damaged two private homes. Drone fragments had also hit the ground in Sochi, the region's major coastal town, but caused no damage.
