According to Zelensky, air defense positions and port structures were hit by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Another drone attack left one person dead in the village of Volna, also in the Krasnodar region and close to the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014. Four people were injured in other offensives recorded in the cities of Anapa and Gelendzhik.

Russian attacks leave people dead in Ukraine
In Ukraine, two people died in Russian drone strikes against Kherson, an important city in the south of the country located close to the front line. Other people were injured, according to local authorities.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, a drone hit a bus and injured one person, Governor Ivan Fedorov said.
Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched missiles and 138 drones overnight. According to the Ukrainian military, 112 of these drones were shot down or intercepted. The statement did not report the interception of missiles.
Attacks by both sides have intensified after more than four years of war. The large-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022 and caused thousands of deaths, in addition to the destruction of infrastructure and the displacement of millions of people.
Ukraine has received financial and military support from Western countries since the beginning of the conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin demands recognition of Moscow's control over Ukrainian territories and guarantees that Ukraine will not join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
Zelensky rejects these conditions and demands the withdrawal of Russian troops and the reestablishment of the internationally recognized borders of 1991, which includes the Crimean peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014.
