A day of mourning has been declared in the Russian city of Novorossiysk following a deadly overnight drone attack that killed four people, including a child.

All entertainment events in the city have been canceled on September 9, while the flags of Russia, Krasnodar Krai and Novorossiysk have been lowered to half-mast on public buildings, Caliber.Az reports.

“The terrible tragedy has resonated with pain in the heart of every resident,” Novorossiysk Mayor Andrey Kravchenko said.

Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev said 29 people were injured in the attack, including three who remain in serious condition.

A spontaneous memorial has been established at Rybnev Square, where local residents have been laying flowers, soft toys and lighting candles in memory of the victims.
