Butenko on Russian drone hitting Kyiv school: this is cynical terror
Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Andriy Butenko has stated that educational institutions in Ukraine have become one of Russia's constant targets.
On October 1, Russian occupiers launched a missile strike on a school in Kyiv, using a Shahed drone. Emergency responders and relevant services were on-site to address the situation. Fortunately, no one was injured as children and teachers sought shelter during the alert. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported the incident, stating that the attack caused a fire on the school's third floor, partially damaged a wall, and caused damage to windows and doors.
Zelenskyy condemned Russia's actions, emphasizing that Ukraine expects additional pressure from its partners and more support. It is worth noting that on the night of October 1, the Russian military carried out 107 Shahed-type strike UAVs, including 63 jet-powered models, along with Gerbera and Parody decoy drones. According to the State Emergency Service, the attack resulted in significant damage to the third-floor facade of the school, triggering a fire that was eventually extinguished.
At the time of the strike, over 100 students and approximately 60 staff members were safely in the shelter.
