A Russian drone strike on a dormitory in Hlukhiv, the Sumy region, has taken the lives of nine people, including one child. Civilians may still be trapped under the rubble, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported.

As of 10:05 a.m., Kyiv time, nine civilians were killed, including one child. In particular, 11 more people were injured, with two children among them.

"Four people are likely still under the rubble. Rescue operations are ongoing," the State Emergency Service of Ukraine stated.

Strike on dormitory in Hlukhiv

On November 18, two enemy Shahed drones targeted a dormitory in Hlukhiv. Initial reports indicated six killed and 12 injured victims, but the death toll has continued to rise.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the attack, stating that each new strike by Russian terrorists highlights the true intentions of Vladimir Putin, who seeks only to prolong the war.

"Talks of peace do not interest him. We must force Russia into a just peace through strength," Zelenskyy emphasized.

According to the Prosecutor General's Office, prosecutors are documenting the attack's aftermath in collaboration with law enforcement. Ukraine's Security Service investigators in the Sumy region are conducting the pre-trial investigation.
