In the latest round of violence between Ukraine and Russia, a missile strike from Russian forces has reportedly devastated residential areas and civilian infrastructure in the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv, injuring at least three civilians, according to local authorities. Ukraine's State Emergency Service shared images of the aftermath, depicting firefighters battling flames at the site of the attack.
Simultaneously, a fire at a major oil depot near Sochi, a popular resort destination on the Black Sea, has been attributed by Russian officials to a Ukrainian drone attack, prompting the suspension of flights at Adler Airport in the area. Krasnodar Region Governor Veniamin Kondratyev confirmed on Telegram that debris from the drone strike caused damage to a fuel tank, necessitating the efforts of 127 firefighters to control the blaze.
This drone incident was part of a series of strikes carried out by Ukraine targeting multiple sites in southern Russia over the weekend, including in Ryazan, Penza, and Voronezh, where at least four individuals sustained injuries from one of the attacks. Following the recent violence, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for bolstered international sanctions against Russia, emphasizing the pressing need for support after a devastating assault on Kyiv that resulted in over 30 casualties. The attack marked one of the deadliest on the Ukrainian capital since the escalation of conflict that began in February 2022, with reports indicating that more than 300 drones and eight cruise missiles were fired during the operation.
