1,200 Evacuated Following Drone Incident in Krasnodar

In the Krasnodar region of Russia, over 1,200 residents were evacuated following a large fire ignited by debris from downed Ukrainian drones, which also caused detonations at an ammunition depot. Governor Veniamin Kondratyev confirmed that the evacuation was necessary due to safety concerns, with many evacuees relocated to hotels for better accommodations. Russian forces reported downing 18 drones overnight, although these claims remain unverified. Amidst these tensions, a separate missile attack on Kryvyi Rih in Ukraine resulted in three fatalities, including a 12-year-old boy. The ongoing conflict has prompted a significant military response from both sides, with Russia launching over 100 glide bombs at Ukrainian positions. The situation continues to escalate as both countries navigate the complexities of warfare and civilian safety.
