At least one civilian killed in a strike on Sochi, officials say
Ukrainian drones targeted the Black Sea resort city of Sochi and the nearby Sirius educational hub in southern Russia early Thursday, local officials said.
The UAVs struck Sochi, the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, located east of Crimea. Debris from one drone fell onto a street, killing one woman and seriously injuring another, regional emergency services reported.
Another drone hit an oil terminal in the Sirius federal territory, according to Mayor Dmitry Plishkin. The district, established in 2020, serves as a technological and educational hub as well as a training center for young athletes.
