    A teenage girl has been killed and four administrative buildings have been damaged in an enemy drone strike in the northwest of Crimea, said the regional head.

    According to the governor appointed by Moscow, administrative buildings in Crimea were damaged, and tragically, a teenage girl lost her life due to a drone attack carried out by Ukrainian forces. This incident occurred on Thursday, shortly after Kyiv targeted a critical bridge connecting the region to Russia.

    As a result of an attack by an enemy UAV, four administrative buildings were damaged in one of the settlements in the north-west of Crimea," Sergei Aksyonov said on Telegram.

    He assured that the family affected by the incident would receive all the necessary support, without divulging further information regarding the attack.
    The report emerged a day following a fire incident at a military site in Crimea, which led to the evacuation of numerous civilians. The authorities have not yet disclosed the cause of the fire. However, certain Russian media outlets mentioned hearing detonations in the vicinity, and visual evidence displayed thick columns of black smoke rising into the sky.

    Earlier this week, Ukraine utilized waterborne drones to target the Kerch bridge, a vital military supply route connecting mainland Russia to annexed Crimea.
    Following the attack that resulted in the deaths of two civilians and left their child injured, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a firm commitment to respond with retaliation.
