MOSCOW, March 18, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A Ukrainian drone attack in Russia's southern Krasnodar region killed one person, its governor said on Wednesday.

"Ukrainian Armed Forces drones struck apartment buildings in the regional capital tonight," Krasnodar's Governor Veniamin Kondratyev posted on Telegram, adding one person had been killed.

"A total of three buildings were damaged. A fire broke out in an apartment in one of them, but it was quickly extinguished," he added.

Kyiv regularly carries out strikes within Russia in response to Russian attacks - which have targeted Ukrainian territory daily since Moscow's full-scale offensive began in February 2022.

Kyiv says it primarily targets military and energy infrastructure.

Early in March, a Ukrainian missile strike in the Russian border region of Bryansk killed seven and wounded dozens, according to regional authorities.

The United States is pushing Kyiv and Moscow to agree to an elusive peace deal, but a third round of three-party talks has been derailed by the war in the Middle East.
