A Ukrainian drone attack on Sunday evening struck a resort area in the Crimea peninsula, resulting in two fatalities and 15 injuries, according to Russia's Defence Ministry. The ministry stated that attack occurred at approximately 7:30 p.m. 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.
