Russia and Ukraine trade drone attacks with 5 killed in each country

Russia and Ukraine traded accusations Tuesday that each side's attacks caused civilian deaths. A Ukrainian drone attack Tuesday in the region around Moscow killed five people and wounded 10 others. The death toll from a drone strike Monday in the Russian Black Sea resort of Arkhipo-Osipovka rose to seven, including four children, according to regional authorities. On Tuesday, Krasnodar regional authorities updated the number of wounded to 58, with 21 hospitalized. Russian attacks on Mykolaiv, including its port, killed an 89-year-old woman and wounded seven other people. In Ukraine's northern Sumy region, six Russian glide bombs killed two girls aged 5 and 10 and an elderly woman. Two glide bombs struck Kramatorsk in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine, injuring 24 people, local officials said. Russian forces also struck Kharkiv and 18 towns and villages across the northern region in the previous 24 hours, killing one person and injuring seven, including an 8-year-old. In the past 18 days, Ukrainian drones have targeted 15 Wildberries warehouses, 13 of which caught fire. Russia has relentlessly pounded civilian areas of Ukraine. Moscow insists its forces target only military facilities. The Russian strike on civilian infrastructure in southern Odesa region destroyed a private home and wounded two people. Ukrainian officials say the company provides goods that can be used by the military. A U.N. commission concluded in October 2025 that such attacks amounted to crimes against humanity. Escalating attacks on shipping in the Black Sea by both sides has reawakened fears that global food security could be put at risk. Drone attacks on civilians have surged since the war began, with 967 people killed, including 10 children. More than 16,000 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since the war began. Video circulating online showed a drone slamming into a crowded beach with what sounded like gunfire in the background. Drone debris partially damaged a wall of a Wildberries warehouse. Ukraine has not commented on the strike. Russia said it struck Ukrainian ports, vessels and port infrastructure. On the Kherson drone-vs-vendor video, Zelenskyy said: The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad. Turkey warned the war is increasingly spreading across the Black Sea, threatening merchant shipping.
