A Ukrainian drone struck a beach in the southern Russian resort city of Gelendzhik on Monday afternoon, killing four people and wounding 13, according to the Abu Ali Express news outlet. The strike hit the coastline of the Black Sea city, a popular tourist destination.
The attack follows a similar Ukrainian drone strike in southern Russia earlier today, reported by The Zioneer at 11:37 Jerusalem time, which killed three and wounded 13. Ukraine has significantly increased its drone operations deep inside Russian territory in recent weeks, targeting military infrastructure, logistics hubs, and energy facilities, as The Zioneer has documented in previous coverage, including an unprecedented wave of nearly 200 drones over Moscow in June.
The casualty figures from Gelendzhik are based on a single source and have not been independently verified. The specific target—whether military or civilian—remains unclear from the initial report.
