Seven injured in drone strike on Kremenchuk
A nighttime drone attack damaged a residential area and a private business in central Ukraine. A 16-year-old was among at least seven people injured.
At least seven people were injured when Russian forces launched drones at Kremenchuk in Ukraine’s Poltava region overnight on November 9, according to the State Emergency Service. Fifteen people were rescued, while a residential district and a privately owned enterprise sustained damage.
Radio Svoboda reported the developments on Monday, November 9. Images released by regional authorities showed damage to a multi-story apartment building that was apparently hit by one of the drones.
Izium also came under attack during the night. Local officials said homes, outbuildings, cars and an administrative building at an inactive enterprise were damaged. Six civilians were affected, including two children diagnosed with an acute stress reaction.
Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched more than 300 unmanned aircraft and that 271 were intercepted. It recorded impacts at 31 locations and falling debris at nine others, although the figures lacked independent confirmation. Authorities in the Cherkasy and Vinnytsia regions separately reported attacks on critical infrastructure.
