Six people, including three children, have been killed in what Russian officials described as a Ukrainian drone attack on a crowded beach area near the Black Sea resort of Gelendzhik, according to Krasnodar Region Governor Veniamin Kondratyev.

The strike wounded around 40 people, 17 of whom were hospitalized, and damaged civilian infrastructure, Kondratyev said. He described the attack as targeting civilian sites after debris from a downed drone fell on the resort village of Arkhipo-Osipovka.
