A Ukrainian drone attack left two dead and 15 injured on Sunday in a resort area in Crimea, the Russian Defence Ministry reported.
The attack occurred around 19.30 Moscow time, targeting a non-military area in Crimea with high-explosive payloads. The ministry labeled it as a 'premeditated terrorist attack'.
Sergei Aksyonov, Crimea's Russia-appointed head, said a Foros sanatorium was targeted, with additional damages in a local school and fires near Yalta. Ukraine has not commented on the incident. The strategic peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014, has a history stirring international tension.
