The night attacks of the Ukrainian drones left at least two dead and eleven injured in Sochi, a very popular coastal city in southwest Russia, authorities announced on Thursday, July 24.
The governor of the Krasnodar region, where this city was rarely located, which has rarely been the objective of the Ukrainian attacks since the beginning of the Russian offensive in Ukraine at the end of February 2022, he said on the telegram that two women had perished in the fall in the inbariums of a murdered drone over the Adler district.
“Eleven people were injured, four are hospitalized,” added Veniamine Kondratriev, saying that his region had suffered a “mass attack” from Ukraine during the night.
42 Ukrainian drones intercepted at night
One of the drones played oil facilities in Sirius, near Sochi, said a local official, Dmitri Plichkin, also in Telegram.
The Russian railroads said in a statement that two of their employees had been killed in a night attack of drones in this city and three other injured. The Russian authorities, in the immediate future, have not said clearly if they were the same victims of which the governor or the additional victims spoke. According to Russian Railways, at the time of the raid, the employees who lost their lives went by car to a resting place after their work.
In total, 42 Ukrainian drones were intercepted and destroyed by the Anti -Russian defense on Wednesday night to Thursday, including seven in the Krasnodar region, said the Russian Defense Ministry in a statement.
Contrary to what is happening in other cities in the region, Sochi airport is still open. Those of other nearby agglomerations (Rostov-Sur-Le-Don, Krasnodar) have been closed since February 2022 to avoid incidents related to the fight.
These strikes occurred after new conversations between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul. The Russians and the Ukrainians concluded these negotiations by observing the “distance” of their positions to end the armed conflict and in the end only in a new exchange of prisoners.
Ukraine warned that he would intensify his attacks in Russia in response to multiplication in the last weeks of Russian attacks against their territory, which has caused the death of dozens of civilians.
