two people were killed and several others were injured following Ukrainian drone attacks targeting southern Russia.

In the city of Rostov-on-Don, a drone strike ignited a fire in a residential building, causing damage to two apartments. Emergency services recovered the body of a man from the debris. Other attacks in the same region resulted in four injuries, including a four-year-old child, and caused a fire at an industrial facility.

In the Belgorod region, a Ukrainian drone targeted a vehicle, causing it to catch fire. One woman was killed in the incident, and a man sustained injuries.

Ukraine continues to launch dozens of drones into Russian territory on a nightly basis as retaliation for Russia’s daily bombardments. Kyiv states that these operations specifically target energy infrastructure that finances Moscow's war efforts. Meanwhile, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported today that a Russian drone strike also caused a fire in a 16-story building in the Ukrainian capital.

This article sounds like it was written by Putin. Ukraine doesn't target civilians, Putin does.

This post is shameful IMO.

A Russian air defense missile reportedly struck a residential building in the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don overnight on Jan. 14, according to eyewitness reports and footage uploaded to social media.
...
The Russian Defense Ministry said on Jan. 14 that it had downed 48 Ukrainian drones overnight, including 25 over Rostov Oblast. It has not disclosed the total number of drones launched.

Rostov-on-Don Mayor Alexander Skryabin confirmed reports of a fire at an apartment, although he claimed that the fire was a result of Ukrainian drone debris. Rostov Oblast Governor Yuri Slyusar said that a man was killed after an apartment caught fire, and four others, including a four-year-old, were wounded in Rostov-on-Don and the city's suburb.
...
Slyusar also claimed that an industrial enterprise caught fire due to the drone attack, though he did not disclose the name of the facility. He also claimed that a multi-story residential building was on fire and that emergency crews were at work on the scene.

Footage on social media suggests the target may have been fuel storage tanks the Empils paint coating factory, although it was not immediately clear as to whether Ukrainian or Russian fire was responsible for the reported damage.
