Ukraine strikes southern Russia with rocket and drone, officials and media say

Ukraine struck two regions in southern Russia with a rocket and a drone, though the missile was shot down by air defenses, according to Russian officials and media reports.

In the southern Russian city of Krasnodar, a blast damaged a residential and office building, officials said.

They did not say what caused the blast, though Russian media said it was a drone attack. Unverified videos on social media showed a drone flying over the city.

In the neighboring Rostov region, the local governor said a Ukrainian missile had been shot down by air defenses on Thursday near Morozovsk, where there is a Russian air base.

“In the area of Morozovsk, an air defense system went off, shooting down a Ukrainian missile,” Rostov Governor Vasily Golubev said. “The military is doing its job. Stay calm.”
