Two children have been killed and two adults injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on Russia’s Krasnodar Region, Governor Veniamin Kondratyev has said.

The attack on Saturday targeted the Yeysk district, damaging homes and civilian infrastructure, according to the governor.

“A family has suffered as a result of yet another vile and cynical strike by the Kiev regime,” Kondratyev wrote on Telegram. “I express my sincere condolences, but no words can bring comfort to their loved ones.”

The adult victims have been hospitalized, and emergency services are working at the sites where UAVs came down in a residential area. Drone debris also struck an enterprise at the local port, sparking a fire, Kondratyev said.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said multiple Russian regions were targeted by a large-scale drone raid overnight. According to the ministry, air defenses intercepted and destroyed 457 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs, including over Krasnodar Region, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov.
