Russia struck a hotel and an apartment building in the city of Kremenchuk with drones, starting fires at both impact sites on the evening of Nov. 8, Poltava Oblast governor Vitaliy Diakivnych reported.
On November 8, Russian drone strikes in Kremenchuk inflicted injuries on seven individuals, including a teenager, and set ablaze several residential buildings. The State Emergency Service (SES) reported the incident, stating that the enemy targeted a densely populated residential microdistrict near a private commercial industrial complex.
The explosions resulted in structural fires in multiple locations. Emergency rescue teams from SES swiftly evacuated and rescued 15 trapped residents from areas engulfed in smoke and damaged apartments.
Among the casualties, seven civilians, one of them a teenager, sustained varying degrees of blast and shrapnel injuries. They are currently receiving specialized trauma care. The Russian drone attack struck the municipal hotel and a multi-story residential apartment building in Kremenchuk on the evening of November 8, igniting heavy fires in both impacted locations.
This marks the second significant strike against Kremenchuk residential towers in recent weeks. Earlier, on October 29, 2026, a Russian loitering munition struck a high-rise residential building in the city, causing the death of three civilians and injuries to 15 others, including three children.
