The assault also wounded thirty-six individuals, with residents mourning the loss of innocent lives in the aftermath of the strike. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for increased air defenses to protect against further Russian aggression.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, civilians continue to suffer as shelling persists in regions like Donetsk, Kherson, and Kharkiv. Russian forces claimed to have shot down numerous Ukrainian drones in retaliation, causing damage in various regions.
