Doha: Two children were killed and nine others, including seven children, were injured overnight after debris from a Ukrainian drone fell on a private childcare center in Krasnodar in southern Russia, regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said.

According to Qatar News Agency, Kondratyev stated that drone debris also fell on residential buildings in the city, while a fire broke out at a warehouse, as mentioned in a statement on Telegram. The incident additionally led to a fire at a logistics hub operated by Russian online retailer Ozon, as reported by the company.

Separately, Russia's Defense Ministry announced that its forces had struck 10 warehouses containing military equipment belonging to the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as infrastructure facilities at the port of Yuzhny in Ukraine's Odesa region. The ministry added that the strikes on the port also targeted a fuel and lubricants tanker intended for the Ukrainian armed forces.

These developments occur amid a sharp escalation in Russian and Ukrainian attacks in recent weeks, with both sides increasingly targeting infrastructure and energy facilities.
