Chernihiv residents adopt over 100 cats and dogs after Russian drone hits local shelter

On October 27, a Russian FPV drone attacked a house in Kramatorsk that housed stray animals, resulting in the deaths of several animals. Volunteer Ksenia Parfentyeva reported the incident. The FPV drone hit the roof of the house, setting it ablaze. Emergency crews struggled to control the fire as a second drone targeted their fire truck.

Volunteers successfully evacuated many animals from the burning house, but panicked pets fled into the nearby area. Rescuers are currently searching for the missing animals and urging Kramatorsk residents to report any stray animals they encounter. The house had served as a crucial center for volunteers from 12 Vartovykh and Animal Rescue Kharkiv, who distributed pet food throughout the city and provided shelter for displaced pet owners.

The volunteer expressed their disappointment, stating that they had poured their hearts into constructing the house as a permanent home, only to have it destroyed in a matter of minutes.
