Two people have been killed in the Crimea peninsula after a Ukrainian drone attack Sunday evening injuring 15 others, according to Russia's Defence Ministry. Officials said it happened at approximately 19:30 Moscow time.

Sergei Aksyonov, the Russia-appointed head of Crimea, confirmed that the strike targeted a sanatorium in the town of Foros.

Additionally, a nearby school sustained damage, and fires broke out in open areas near Yalta, further northeast along Crimea's southern coast. 

The Ukrainian government has not officially commented on the incident.

Due to the ongoing conflict and the region's complex political status, independent verification of the details remains challenging.
