A Ukrainian drone struck a crowded beach in Russia's Krasnodar region, killing seven people, including three children, and injuring 40 others, according to Russian authorities. The explosion occurred near the Black Sea resort village of Arkhipo-Osipovka, where tourists were on the beach. Regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev accused Ukraine of deliberately targeting civilians, while Kyiv has not commented. The intended target remains unclear, with some Ukrainian Telegram channels claiming the drone crashed after electronic jamming. Witnesses reported hearing gunfire before the blast, suggesting Russian air defences may have engaged the drone. Both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians during the war.
