Russian attack injures 2 in Poltava region – official
Two people were injured in Poltava hromada due to falling debris of Russian target, reported Head of the Regional Military Administration Vitaliy Dyakivnych.
The Ukrainian Red Cross Society (URCS) provided assistance at the sites of Russian UAV attacks in Zaporizhia and Kharkiv on Thursday. At a Zaporizhia attack site, the URCS's rapid response team collaborated with other emergency services. Volunteers carried out a perimeter sweep for the wounded, ready to assist victims as needed, according to a Friday Facebook update.
Similar efforts took place in Kharkiv, where URCS volunteers aided locations damaged by Russian air attacks. Yesterday, the Kharkiv rapid response unit joined other special services at all affected sites, searching surrounding areas and a damaged shopping center. Three victims received first aid before being handed over to medical professionals.
The State Emergency Service (SES) of Ukraine reported that Russian troops launched a drone attack on a Zaporizhia district on August 27, injuring a 54-year-old woman and causing a warehouse blaze. Firefighters battled the 5,000-square-meter inferno, but repeated attacks forced temporary halts. That same day, an Osnovyansky district Kharkiv hypermarket was hit, resulting in one death and five injuries after a Russian UAV destroyed a portion of the building and sparked a 300-square-meter fire.
