MOSCOW, July 29, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A Ukrainian drone attack on southern Russia killed one person, the region's acting governor said Tuesday.

"A car was damaged on Ostrovsky Street. Unfortunately, the driver who was in it died," Yuri Sliusar, acting governor of the Rostov region, said in a post on Telegram.

He said the attack had targeted several places, including Salsk, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Volgodonsk, Bokovsky, Tarasovsky and Slyusar.

Drone debris also fell on Salsk station, damaging a freight train and a passenger train, with passengers being evacuated, he added. No casualties were reported.

Kyiv has been trying to repel Russia's summer offensive, which has made fresh advances into areas largely spared since the start of the offensive in 2022.

Over the weekend, the Russian army said its forces had "liberated the settlement of Maliyevka" in Dnipropetrovsk, weeks after it seized the first village in the region.

US President Donald Trump on Monday issued Moscow a deadline of "about 10 or 12 days" to end the conflict in Ukraine, or face tough sanctions.
