Nine injured in drone attack on Sevastopol including children

Ukrainian and regional outlets present the Sevastopol injuries as caused by a falling Ukrainian drone over Russian-occupied Crimea, while stressing that Russia is carrying out far deadlier strikes on Ukrainian cities. They point to Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv that hit apartment blocks and injured or killed civilians as part of a wider pattern of attacks on residential areas. They expect Ukraine to keep targeting Russian military and logistics sites, including in occupied Crimea, while pushing for more air defence support from Western partners.
