On the night of Tuesday, February 18, Russia once again attacked Ukraine using kamikaze drones of the Shahed type. In the Kirovohrad region, a drone crashed into a residential high-rise building.
According to the head of the Kirovohrad Regional State Administration, Andrey Raykovich, the enemy drone struck a high-rise in Dolynska.
"Three people were injured - a mother and her two children. They were provided with medical assistance immediately. The older girl did not require hospitalization. Residents from 38 apartments have been evacuated," he noted.
Raykovich stated that all relevant services are working at the scene. Additionally, enemy drones also attacked the Kropyvnytskyi region. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Drone Attacks on Ukraine
As is known, the Russian Federation actively employs "Shahed" type drones to attack critical infrastructure in Ukraine, particularly targeting the energy sector. The occupiers aim to destroy the energy system of Ukraine, especially during the winter months.
Recall that on the night of February 16, the Russian army attacked the Mykolaiv Combined Heat and Power Plant, destroying the facility's electricity generation and leaving approximately 46,000 subscribers without heat.
