In the Poltava region, a drone attack damaged an industrial facility at night. A fire broke out there, and the rescuers extinguished it. There were no casualties, wrote the head of the regional military administration (OVA) Philip Pronin.
In the Kyiv region, fragments of a Russian drone fell on the territory of one of the settlements, the grass caught fire — it was quickly extinguished. Debris also severed power lines and damaged the roofs of two buildings. Consequences are being eliminated, informed the Kyiv OVA.
