The overnight attack targeted a building with 86 children inside, officials in the Lugansk People’s Republic say
At least four people have reportedly been killed and scores of others, most of them children, injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a school dormitory in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic.
Officials say four kamikaze drones were used to attack the main academic building and dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College, which teaches children aged 14 to 18. Acting Governor Leonid Pasechnik said 86 students were inside the facility at the time of the attack.
Russia’s newly appointed human rights ombudsman, Yana Lantratova, cited preliminary reports as indicating at least four fatalities in the incident. Emergency services reported recovering one body before pausing the operation due to concerns of a new Ukrainian strike.
