Two dead, five injured in Ukrainian attacks on Crimea and southern Russia, authorities say

MOSCOW, July ‌23 (Reuters) - Two ​people ​were killed including a three-year-old child in separate overnight ‌Ukrainian attacks on a southern Russian ⁠city and on the Russian-controlled peninsula ‌of Crimea, authorities said ‌on Thursday.

Crimean governor Sergei Aksyonov said one person died on the ​peninsula and four more were injured, including two children.

Falling drone ⁠debris sparked a fire at the home of a ​three-year-old boy in the city of Voronezh, some 500 kilometres (310 ​miles) south of Moscow, ‌killing him, the regional governor Alexander Gusev said.

A 19-year-old ⁠man sustained minor injuries in the attack, which also damaged the roof ⁠of a warehouse belonging to an online ​marketplace and other buildings.

The governor of the Ulyanovsk region east of Moscow said Ukrainian ‌drones had attacked an energy facility, which caught fire.

The ‌Russian Defence Ministry said its ⁠air defence units ‌downed 223 ​Ukrainian drones overnight.
