Russia says Ukrainian drone attack killed four in Novorossiysk
Regional officials said 29 people were wounded as fires broke out and drone debris damaged homes, businesses and port facilities.
Four people, including a child, were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk on Wednesday, according to Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev, who reported 29 others were wounded.
Novorossiysk Mayor Andrei Kravchenko confirmed the overnight assault resulted in debris falling on residential and industrial facilities throughout the city.
Three private homes, apartment buildings, a church, and a kindergarten sustained damage, Kondratyev reported, while fires erupted at a fuel oil terminal and apartment building.
The Defense Ministry reported 596 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight across various regions, while authorities noted additional damage from drone debris in the town of Anapa.
Novorossiysk remains a frequent target of Ukrainian drone strikes, serving as a major outlet for Russian oil, oil products, and grain exports among other commodities.
