Moscow: A Ukrainian drone attack killed a man and wounded another in the resort city of Tuapse on the Black Sea in southern Russia, the regional governor said Monday.
It was the second assault on the seaport in a matter of days, with drone debris damaging windows in buildings across the city, including apartments, a primary school, kindergarten, museum and church, Veniamin Kondratiev added.
“Tuapse came under yet another massive drone attack tonight. As a result, one man was killed at the seaport, according to preliminary information. I extend my deepest condolences to his family,” Kondratiev said.
Another man was also wounded in the attack and received medical assistance, he added.
On Thursday, a 14-year-old girl and a young woman were killed by a nighttime drone attack on the same city, according to a previous statement by the governor.
Russia’s defense ministry also reported that its air defenses had “destroyed 112 Ukrainian drones” overnight Sunday to Monday.
