A Ukrainian drone attack in the southern Voronezh region killed a woman, local authorities said, as other strikes across the country damaged infrastructure and wounded dozens of people.
Voronezh Region Governor Alexander Gusev said a woman identified only as having been born in 1983 was killed when a drone crashed into a house in the town of Borisoglebsk. Two others were injured, he said.
In a separate seaborne drone attack on the Black Sea city of Sochi, 28 people were injured, emergency officials said.
Further to the east, in the North Caucasus republic of Dagestan, acting regional head Fyodor Shchukin said Ukrainian strikes sparked fires at a seaport and a theater in the capital city of Makhachkala. He said both fires were quickly put out.
Unverified reports said the Makhachkala Commercial Sea Port, Russia’s only deep-water port on the Caspian Sea, was hit in the attack.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed his military struck a seaport in Dagestan. He said several sites were also hit in the Moscow, Astrakhan, Bryansk and Voronezh regions.
Meanwhile, in the southwestern Belgorod region, authorities said Ukrainian strikes over the past 24 hours had killed a man and wounded 13 others.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said it intercepted 448 Ukrainian drones across Russia and annexed Crimea between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
