Russian officials say a Ukrainian drone attack hits a holiday resort in Gelendzhik, on Russia’s Black Sea coast, killing at least seven people and injuring about 40 others. Multiple outlets report that the casualties include children: Russia says three children are among the dead. Reports describe the incident as involving drones striking or targeting the resort area, and they characterize it as an attack on civilians.
The information comes from Russia’s account of events, including local official statements cited by outlets. The figures reported are consistent across sources on the main toll: seven killed and roughly 40 injured. While the reports vary slightly in the number of people cited (some mention six deaths), the overall casualty range described by outlets remains centered on seven fatalities and dozens of injuries.
None of the provided summaries includes a response or confirmation from Ukrainian authorities. The reports present the incident as part of drone strikes against Russian territory, according to Russia.
