A Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian city of Novorossiysk has resulted in at least four deaths, including a child, and 29 injuries, according to Krasnodar Krai Governor Benjamin Kondratyev. The attack also targeted warships stationed at a naval base in the city. Russia subsequently reported targeting a Ukrainian vessel in the Black Sea in retaliation. The incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, extending attacks deeper into Russian territory. Ukrainian officials have not yet publicly commented on the Novorossiysk strike. The extent of the damage to the naval base is currently unconfirmed, but reports indicate substantial impact. This exchange highlights the increasingly volatile situation in the Black Sea region.
