Drone Strike Sparks Emergency in Russian Port City

The Russian port city of Novorossiysk has declared a state of emergency following a Ukrainian drone attack that damaged residential buildings and injured at least five people, including two children. Mayor Andrei Kravchenko announced the decision on his official Telegram account, sharing images of the destruction and directing officials to respond to the crisis.

One of the injured, a woman, remains in serious condition at a local hospital. The attack also affected a grain terminal, with debris from falling drones causing damage to storage units and sparking a fire, which has since been extinguished. Authorities are assessing the full extent of the damage and providing assistance to those affected.

Ukraine has yet to comment on the incident, though its air force reported that Russia launched 183 drones and two ballistic missiles overnight. The ongoing conflict continues to escalate, with both sides engaging in aerial strikes.

This latest attack underscores the growing intensity of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, raising concerns about civilian safety and infrastructure stability in the region.
