Ukrainian drone kills one in Russia-annexed Crimea, Moscow-installed governor says
A Ukrainian drone struck a train in Crimea, killing its assistant driver and injuring the driver, the peninsula’s Russian-installed governor Sergei Aksyonov said in a Telegram post early on Monday.
Passengers on the train, commuting between Moscow and Simferopol, the main city of the Russia-annexed Black Sea Crimea peninsula, were not harmed, Aksyonov added. The train connection in Crimea was suspended, Interfax news agency reported.
Ukraine’s military struck two oil depots in Russia-occupied Crimea overnight on Sunday, the General Staff of Ukraine’s military said on Monday.
Russia seized and annexed Crimea in 2014 — long before its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine — after public protests in Kyiv prompted a Moscow-friendly president to flee Ukraine. Crimea is a popular destination for Russian tourists.
