Southern Russian city attacked by Ukrainian drones (PHOTO)
At least 13 people have been injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on Thursday, local officials have said. Governor Yury Slyusar first reported the attack on his official Telegram channel, noting that emergency services were working at the sites of damaged residential buildings. At least two people have sustained serious injuries, while 11 others have been hospitalized, Slyusar added. He said information about the victims of the attack would be updated in the near future. Rostov Mayor Aleksandr Skryabin reported that residents of damaged buildings have been evacuated to a temporary accommodation center at a nearby school. He added that a state of local emergency has been declared at the scene of the attack. In recent months, Ukrainian forces have intensified their long-range drone operations, targeting residential areas and key infrastructure across Russia. Moscow has responded with high-precision strikes on Ukrainian military-related facilities, maintaining that its operations are never directed at civilians. National air defense units in Russia regularly report intercepting dozens or even hundreds of drones in a single day, although falling debris continues to injure civilians, damage property, and disrupt essential services. The latest Ukrainian attacks come as Kiev is under growing domestic and international pressure to seek a negotiated settlement with Moscow.
