In a related escalation, a Ukrainian drone attack on Novorossiysk, a southern Russian city on the Black Sea, killed four people, including a child, and injured 29 others. The strike, which struck a church, preschool and residential buildings, underscores the ongoing long‑range missile campaign despite diplomatic talks.
