Following a drone attack last night in the Rostov region, southern Russia, at least three people have died, and another ten have been injured, according to local authorities. Governor Yuri Sliusar stated that the cities of Rostov-on-Don, Bataisk, and Taganrog were the targets of the attacks. A drone struck a vessel in the port of Rostov-on-Don, causing a fire and killing two crew members, while three others were injured. In Bataisk, seven people were injured, one of whom later died in the hospital. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 47 Ukrainian drones were shot down or intercepted during the night, and Russian authorities accuse Ukraine of these attacks, without Kiev commenting on it so far. Additionally, a residential building under construction in Rostov was damaged, but no casualties have been reported.
