Cross-border attacks leave multiple dead in Kyiv, Moscow, and Gelendzhik

Cross-border drone strikes and frontline escalation have left dozens dead in Kyiv, the Moscow region, and Krasnodar Krai, while damaging key industrial facilities.
Overnight cross-border strikes and frontline clashes have caused severe civilian casualties across Ukraine and Russia.
In Ukraine, an attack on Kyiv killed nine people and wounded at least 33, while Russian forces reported tactical advances in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several Russian regions. In the Moscow area, a strike on a warehouse killed five people and injured 10. In Leningrad Oblast, falling debris damaged a Wildberries facility in Krasny Bor, injuring one person. Kyiv has recently targeted logistics hubs, asserting they supply Russian military operations.
In Krasnodar Krai, local officials reported that seven people, including three children, were killed and around 40 injured after a drone fell on a beach in Arkhipo-Osipovka near Gelendzhik.
