Three people were killed and seven others injured in a Ukrainian attack on the city of Simferopol in Russia-annexed Crimea, the Moscow-installed governor said on Thursday.
Details of the Attack
Sergei Aksyonov, writing on Telegram, stated that the attack targeted non-residential facilities. He did not specify the type of attack or provide further details about the nature of the facilities hit.
The incident occurred amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has seen frequent attacks on both sides. Simferopol is the capital of Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, a move not recognized by Ukraine and most of the international community.
Casualties and Response
Emergency services responded to the scene, and the injured were taken to local hospitals. The exact circumstances of the attack remain unclear, and no group has claimed responsibility. Ukrainian officials have not commented on the incident.
The attack adds to the rising death toll in the conflict, which has caused widespread destruction and displacement. International organizations have called for restraint and a return to diplomatic negotiations.
