At least three people died and 16 were injured in Sunday’s strike that targeted a peaceful resort area on the peninsula.
According to local education officials, the assembly hall of the school, where more than 200 children study, was completely destroyed and the library was damaged. Footage from the site showed debris scattered across the courtyard, shattered windows in the library, and torn insulation and ventilation pipes in the ruined auditorium, where chairs lay overturned.
No students were hurt as the attack came on a day off, although a security guard was injured, according to local authorities. His condition has not been disclosed.
Specialists from the Emergencies Ministry have launched an inspection to assess the damage. Lessons will resume in the coming days, although students will temporarily study remotely, local administration head Yanina Pavlenko said.
The strike also hit a wellness complex in Foros. Crimean Governor Sergey Aksyonov reported that three people were killed and 16 injured in the town in total.
Most of the wounded were said to have sustained shrapnel injuries. It was noted that local residents and visitors, including from Belarus, had been on the Foros shoreline at the time of the attack. Twelve of the injured have been hospitalized, four of whom are in serious condition. No children were among the victims.
The Russian Defense Ministry said the attack had targeted a resort area “where there are no military facilities,” calling it a “deliberate terrorist attack on civilian targets.”
Ukraine has stepped up long-range drone strikes inside Russia in recent months amid battlefield setbacks. The attacks have hit energy sites and civilian infrastructure, leaving dozens dead or injured. Moscow has repeatedly accused Kiev of deliberately targeting civilians, including children.
Russia has launched its own long-range drone and missile strikes in response, but the Defense Ministry insists it targets only military sites such as troop positions, weapons depots, and fuel storage facilities.

But Putin is the aggressor and wants to invade Europe
Why would Putin in His right mind want to invade Europe?
Would he need all those problems of a failed bankrupt de industrializing collective state
Which is why Europe wants to invade Russia
