Ukrainian military strikes killed three people in the Russia-annexed Crimean peninsula, Russian authorities reported.

The casualties occurred in territory that Russia has controlled since its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Russia's occupation of the peninsula has not been recognized by Ukraine or most of the international community.

The strikes represent part of Ukraine's ongoing military campaign to target Russian-controlled territories and military infrastructure since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Ukraine has increasingly targeted Crimea as part of its broader military strategy.

Russian authorities did not immediately provide details about the specific location of the strikes or the circumstances surrounding the civilian casualties. Ukraine typically does not comment on specific military operations in occupied territories.

The incident occurs amid continued fighting along multiple front lines in the conflict, with both sides conducting military operations across disputed territories.
