Four injured in Russia-held Sevastopol in drone attack, governor says


Aug 28 (Reuters) - ⁠Four people were ⁠injured after drones hit ‌a five-storey apartment building in Sevastopol in the Russian-held ​Crimean peninsula, Mikhail ⁠Razvozhayev, the ⁠Moscow-installed governor, said on the ⁠Telegram ‌messaging app on Friday.

Drones ⁠and their debris have also ​hit ‌a hotel, a kindergarten ⁠and over ​a dozen cars, he said, adding that ⁠the grass near ​some oil product depots caught fire, not the ⁠depots themselves, and the flames were extinguished.

Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 ​and started ⁠a full-scale invasion of ​Ukraine in 2022.
