MOSCOW: The head of the Kremlin-backed government in annexed Crimea blamed Ukraine on Monday for a deadly drone strike, while Kyiv said a Russian attack had killed three people in the country’s southeast.
Sergey Aksyonov said the Ukrainian military had targeted the Crimean resort town of Foros, damaging the grounds of a sanatorium and a school building.
“According to updated data, three people were killed and 16 were wounded as a result of (the) UAV attack,” Aksyonov said on Telegram.
Fragments of the downed drone also caused a fire near the coastal city of Yalta, he said.
Russia’s defense ministry called the strike a “terrorist attack” and initially put the death toll at two.
