Previously, there was an air alert. Authorities appealed to the population to protect themselves. “Don’t ignore the air alert, stay in shelters,” Kyrylo Tymoshenko, deputy head of the presidential office, wrote in Telegram on Friday. Since October, the Russian military has attacked Ukraine’s power infrastructure in several waves. This has led to power outages across the country.
According to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS, at least eight people were killed in a Ukrainian rocket attack in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine, which is controlled by Russian troops. Another 23 people were injured when rockets hit the village of Lantrativka. TASS refers to unspecified emergency services sources. A building in the area was destroyed and some people were trapped under the rubble, he said.
