“The Temryuk district was attacked by Ukrainian drones at night. The fall of their debris caused a fire in the marine terminal,” wrote the governor of the Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratev, on the Telegram network. “Unfortunately, one person died in the process,” he added.
In the Russian border region of Bryansk on Friday, a Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured another, the local governor Yegor Kovalchuk said a few hours earlier.
Ukrainian drones also struck the training center of the Russian army in the village of Novopetrivka in the occupied part of Ukraine’s Zaporozhye region on Friday night, said the Ukrainian drone chief Robert “Hungary” Brody, according to the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda. According to him, in addition to soldiers, the target was also anti-aircraft systems Tor-M2, ZU-23s and other equipment. However, he did not mention what damage the blow ultimately caused.
On Friday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin published a series of messages on Telegram, in which he informed about the downing of drones that were heading towards the Russian capital. According to him, experts are now examining their debris on the ground.
At the same time, the Ukrainian authorities announced a total of at least two dead and over thirty wounded after Russian airstrikes in the Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. In the first-mentioned area, nine people were injured after the market was hit near the village of Synelnyky.
Ukraine is defending itself against Russian aggression for the fifth year and is intensifying medium- and long-range drone attacks on targets in Russia. It mainly affects locations connected to the oil industry.
At a meeting with soldiers in the Kremlin on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine is trying to “split the Russian society, cause moral damage, cause confusion among Russian citizens and cause economic damage” with the help of drone attacks. He added that Kyiv will not be able to achieve this goal.
