Luhansk: Authorities in Ukraine's Russian-controlled Luhansk region reported that 19 civilians were injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on the village of Tsentralny, with no comment from Kyiv on the claim.
According to Anadolu Agency, Regional Health Minister Natalya Pashchenko stated on Telegram that drones targeted the village in the Perevalsk district of eastern Ukraine over the weekend.
She reported that all of the injured individuals were locals who were either near the impact site or inside their homes at the time of the strike. Among those injured, three are in serious condition, six in moderate condition, while the others were treated as outpatients.
Earlier, the regional head Leonid Pasechnik initially reported 15 civilian injuries, describing the incident as a massive Ukrainian drone strike. He also alleged that the attack resulted in damage to dozens of residential and social facilities.
The ongoing conflict makes it challenging to confirm claims like these, as the war is set to reach the four-year mark this month. Ukrainian authorities have not yet provided any comments on the incident.
