A Russian drone strike on the grounds of a vocational school dormitory in Vinnytsia Oblast killed two people, including a 13-year-old girl, on Nov. 1, the State Emergency Service reported.
On November 1, a Russian drone strike near a vocational school dormitory in Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine, claimed the lives of a 13-year-old girl and injured four others, including two 5-year-old girls, a 16-year-old boy, and a 24-year-old man. The attack also caused two cars to catch fire, which were later extinguished. The incident occurred on the grounds of the school in the Kozyatyn district of Vinnytsia Oblast.
Regional Governor Natalia Zabolotna reported that the strike targeted the area between the dormitory and a school building.
The Russian drone attack is part of a pattern of civilian infrastructure targeting by Russian forces throughout Ukraine. On October 29, Russian forces struck a train platform at Dnipro railway station, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people and injuries to at least 14 others. President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack on social media, describing it as a horrific assault on a train station where regular commuter and passenger trains were present.
