Four injured in Russia-held Sevastopol in drone attack, governor says
Drones and debris also damaged a hotel, kindergarten and more than a dozen cars, while grass near oil depots caught fire, officials said.
On Friday, four people were injured after drones struck a five-storey apartment building in Sevastopol in the Russian-held Crimean peninsula, said Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor.
Drones and debris also hit a hotel, a kindergarten, and over a dozen cars, Razvozhayev said, adding that grass near oil product depots caught fire but flames were extinguished.
Russia has intensified attacks on cities across Ukraine recently. Local authorities reported three people injured in Kherson and three in Odesa, while a shopping centre attack in Kharkiv killed one person.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported four people were injured in Kyiv after drones and missiles hit the capital on Thursday, with air raid alerts sounding several times throughout the morning.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy repeated calls for allies to send more ballistic missile defence packages to counter the ongoing attacks intensifying over four years of full-scale invasion.
