Regional Governor Sergey Aksyonov reported that Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian peninsula over the weekend have resulted in at least two civilian deaths and multiple injuries. In an overnight attack on the northern part of the peninsula, one person was killed and two others were injured, with one survivor remaining in critical condition.

A day earlier, a separate strike killed one civilian and wounded two individuals, including a 10-year-old child.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, at least 71 Ukrainian drones were intercepted above Crimea and several Russian regions overnight. Russia’s military also reported nearly 400 interceptions over the country during the previous day as Ukraine escalated its long-range UAV attacks on critical infrastructure, including oil refineries and logistics facilities amid battlefield setbacks.

Kiev has increasingly targeted civilian infrastructure in recent months, including museums, ambulances, and buses. On Thursday, a Ukrainian drone attack in Bryansk Region injured three people on a bus carrying vacationers from Belarus to Anapa, Russia, an incident condemned by Acting Bryansk Governor Egor Kovalchuk as “a targeted strike on civilians.”

Rodion Miroshnik, who leads the Russian Foreign Ministry’s mission tracking Kiev’s war crimes, reported that Ukrainian strikes have killed 21 children and wounded 183 others in the past three months—the highest figure since the conflict escalated in 2022. Overall, Ukraine has accounted for 422 civilian deaths and 2,618 injuries during the second quarter of this year.
