A Ukrainian drone attack on Sevastopol in annexed Crimea killed one man and wounded three other people, the city's Moscow-installed governor said Sunday.
"43 [drones] were shot down in total. Unfortunately, there are fatalities," Mikhail Razvozhayev wrote on Telegram.
He said a man born in 1983 was killed while inside a vehicle, and three people were hospitalized.
Razvozhayev said the attack damaged several homes and a dance school in different neighborhoods of the port city, which has a population of more than half a million and hosts the historic base of Russia's Black Sea fleet.
In response to Russian bombardments on its territory over the past four years, Ukraine has been sending drones toward Russia almost every night, with a particular focus on energy infrastructure.
On Saturday, Ukrainian authorities said at least eight people were killed in the city of Dnipro, in central‑eastern Ukraine, which was hit by waves of Russian strikes for 20 hours straight.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
