Russian media report that a Ukrainian drone struck a beach in the resort town of Gelendzhik on Monday afternoon, killing four people including a child and wounding ten others. Ukraine claims the drone was targeting a military radar post but was diverted by electronic jamming, causing it to hit the beach. The attack is the latest in a series of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian territory.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, a Ukrainian drone struck a beach in Gelendzhik, killing four people and wounding thirteen. Updated Russian reports now indicate that a child was among the fatalities and the number of wounded has been revised to ten. The reports also note that the area is known to host a secret estate linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, previously exposed by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
Ukraine has offered a different account of the incident, stating that the drone was targeting a military radar station positioned near the coast but was deflected by electronic jamming, causing it to hit the beach.
The strike is the latest in a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian territory, following a similar strike earlier in the day that killed three in another region. The Zioneer earlier Monday also reported a separate Ukrainian precision strike on a Russian military headquarters near Gelendzhik that killed four commanders.
