The attack comes days before the 'Victory Day truce' proposed by President Vladimir Putin

Ukrainian drones struck several houses in Russia's southern Rostov and Krasnodar regions early Sunday, officials said.

Rostov Governor Yury Slyusar reported that two adults and two children were evacuated after fragments from a downed UAV caused a fire on the roof of a house in the village of Tselina. A non-residential building was also damaged, he added.

Slyusar noted that drones were intercepted over several areas, including the mining towns of Novoshakhtinsk and Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

In Krasnodar Region, officials said that "drone fragments" damaged three houses in Anapa, a resort town on the Black Sea coast.

Telegram channels reported drone attacks in the port cities of Novorossiysk and Taman, near Crimea, with UAV debris found scattered on the streets.

Authorities in Novorossiysk, home to a Russian naval base, said the military was responding to "an attack by UAVs and seaborne drones." Telegram news channels reported that a drone crashed into a high-rise apartment building in Novorossiysk.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a 72-hour truce starting on May 8, timed to coincide with celebrations of Russia's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky dismissed the proposal as "another attempt at manipulation."
