Russian official says Ukrainian drones kill three, injure 16 in Crimea resort area
A Ukrainian drone attack on a resort area of the Crimea peninsula killed three people and injured 16, the area’s top official said, in an attack denounced by Moscow.
Sergei Aksyonov, the Moscow-appointed head of Crimea, seized and annexed from Ukraine by Russia in 2014, gave the toll from the town of Faros in a Telegram post.
The Russian Defense Ministry said: “At about 19:30 Moscow time (1630 GMT) in the resort area of Crimea where there are no military targets whatsoever, the Ukrainian armed forces launched a terrorist strike using strike drones equipped with high-explosive payloads.”
The ministry described the incident as a “premeditated terrorist attack on a civilian target.”
