Ukrainian drones struck the Foros resort area in Crimea, resulting in damage and casualties, according to officials from the Russia-installed government in Crimea. The attack reportedly targeted the Foros Sanatorium, a luxury resort situated near several Russian state dachas, which are country homes for members of Russia's political elite.
The head of the annexed Crimea government stated that three individuals were killed and 16 others were injured in the drone strike. Some reports on Telegram suggested that "very important" guests were present at the resort during the incident.
Russia's defense ministry confirmed the attack but did not provide details regarding the potential targets or the presence of any notable individuals at the resort at the time.
The Foros area is located in the southern part of the occupied peninsula, close to Yalta, where four Russian state summer residences are situated. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions and military actions in the region amid the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
