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.
