At least one dead and six injured in a Ukrainian drone attack against southern Russia
At least one person died and six others were injured last night in a massive Ukrainian drone attack against the Krasnodar region, in southern Russia.
The authorities of that entity of the Federation reported this Friday that “as a result of the fall of the fragments of a drone, one of the workers of a boiler in the city of Krasnodar died.”
For their part, the emergency services have confirmed that in addition to the boiler where the fatal victim occurred, the building of a bus station in the regional capital was damaged in the attack.
“At least four people were injured by the fall of the remains of drones, according to preliminary data,” the regional authorities said in a press release collected by the Interfax agency.
Two other people were injured by the impact of another drone on the territory of the Ilski oil refinery, one of the most important in the south of the country.
According to the official version, the attack did not cause damage to the facilities of the refinery, which, like all of Russia’s oil infrastructure, is considered by Ukraine as a priority military target.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the massive nature of the attack on the Krasnodar region, where last night, according to the military, 43 fixed-sing drones were shot down.
In addition, the Russian military command indicated that anti-aircraft defense systems killed 70 unmanned devices over the annexed Crimean peninsula and the Black Sea, in whose waters, he added, six water drones of the Ukrainian Navy were destroyed.
Meanwhile, at the front, Ukraine recovers land near the town of Vovchansk, in the border area with Russia of the Kharkov region and Russian forces continue to advance in the eastern region of Donetsk, according to the daily bulletin on the course of the war published by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), based in the United States.
The town of Chasiv Yar, in the eastern region of Donetsk, has been one of the main objectives of Russian operations on this front for months.
However, Ukraine continues to maintain control of the locality despite the constant Russian attacks in the area.
In the Kharkov region, another of the epicenters of the fighting, Ukrainian forces are carrying out assault operations in the northeast of Vovchansk to finish expelling Russian troops from the area, according to the Ukrainian Telegram military channel DeepState,
The channel clarifies that there can be no talk of Ukrainian “counter-offensive actions” and that Russian forces continue to launch infantry attacks on this part of the front opened by Russia in the middle of last month.
According to the daily report on the war of the Kiev Center for Defense Strategics, Ukraine has regained control of the village of Tije and part of the town of Staritsia, both east of Vovchansk

Seven bodies found with signs of torture in Sinaloa
Mexican authorities discovered seven lifeless bodies on Wednesday, showing clear signs of torture, in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa, just one day after the same number of bodies was found in several municipalities in the western state of Mexico.
Six of these seven victims were found along the side of the highway that connects Culiacán to Mazatlán, near Laguna de Canachi, according to local media reports, which also noted that messages addressed to a criminal group were found near the bodies.
This brings the total number of violent deaths in the region to seven within just 24 hours. On Tuesday, authorities reported more victims found in the municipalities of Culiacán, Elota, and Mazatlán.
Among the victims identified was a local cattle rancher named Ramón Velázquez Ontiveros, as well as a police officer from Mazatlán, who was killed by a motorcyclist outside his home in San Marcos.

Málaga paralyzed by new storm as torrential rains hit Spain
Thousands of people were evacuated and trains were suspended as torrential rains once again struck Spain on Wednesday, following the devastating floods that killed at least 223 people two weeks ago, most of them in the Valencia region.
The national meteorological agency (Aemet) issued a maximum, red-level alert for the Andalusian province of Málaga in the south, and for Tarragona in the northeast, due to the new DANA (isolated depression at high levels), also known as a cold drop.
The city of Málaga appeared to be the hardest hit by the rains, with more than 3,000 people evacuated from 1,000 homes near rivers, flooded streets, and the suspension of urban transport and train services to Madrid.
“Today Málaga is paralyzed,” said Andalusia’s regional president, Juan Manuel Moreno, to reporters. “I know it is a problem for citizens not being able to take their children to school or go to work, but after what we saw in Valencia, we need to ‘prevent’ and minimize the impact in terms of loss of life,” he added.
The storm also led to the postponement of a match between Spain and Poland in the Billie Jean King Cup women’s tennis competition, which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon in Málaga.

Hezbollah launches explosive drone strike on Israel’s defense headquarters
The Lebanese Islamist movement Hezbollah claimed on Wednesday that it launched an attack with explosive drones against the Israeli army’s headquarters in Tel Aviv.
The Iran-backed organization reported in a statement that it had carried out “an aerial attack with a squadron of explosive drones” targeting the site that houses Israel’s main defense institutions.
Hezbollah later stated that it also fired a barrage of rockets at the Glilot military intelligence base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv.
The Israeli military indicated that “sirens sounded in several areas of northern and central Israel following the launch of projectiles from Lebanon.”
It later clarified that “five projectiles were identified over the territory, and some were intercepted.”
