Ukrainian air attacks killed at least five people and wounded nearly two dozen others in southern Russia, regional authorities said early Monday.
In the city of Rostov-on-Don, a major export hub near the Sea of Azov, a couple was killed in a strike on a residential building, Rostov region Governor Yury Slyusar said in a Telegram post. He later said another three bodies were discovered beneath rubble, including that of a child.
Slyusar said five people were injured in the attack, two of whom were in critical condition. Falling drone debris sparked fires at a number of locations, he added.
In the city of Belgorod, a drone attack wounded 12 people, including two children, and caused a fire in a residential building, regional authorities said Monday morning.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia region Governor Ivan Fedorov said a guided aerial bomb and drone attack killed one person and wounded two in the southern city, which has been under heavy bombardment in recent months.
In Ukraine’s northern Sumy region, a Russian guided aerial bomb attack wounded five people, Governor Oleh Hryhorov said in a post on Telegram.
