Archipo-Osipowka Drone Attack Sparks Russian Blame on NATO and EU

A Ukrainian drone strike hit the Black Sea beach town of Archipo‑Osipowka in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, killing six civilians when debris fell on the crowded shore. Russian foreign‑ministry spokesperson Maria Zacharowa told TASS that NATO and the European Union have become "part of international terrorist activity" and blamed them for the attack, offering no evidence.

Ukrainian media reported the unmanned aircraft was shot down by Russian air‑defence over the beach, while the governor of Krasnodar Krai, Wieniamina Kondratjewa, confirmed the civilian deaths resulted from falling drone fragments.
