> Officials said Tuesday that four people, including three civilians, were killed in a shooting in the Black Sea city of Sevastopol. The suspected shooter was identified as an unidentified Russian soldier. The incident occurred a day after local authorities reported that a Ukrainian drone attack hit the beach of a Russian Black Sea resort. Six civilians, among them three children, were killed in that attack. The two incidents underscore the deadly impact of the war along the Black Sea coast.
