Russian drone strike sparks apartment fire in Kherson Photo

Emergency crews in Ukraine’s Kherson region have extinguished a fire caused by a Russian drone strike on a residential building, Ukrainian authorities said on May 13.

According to Ukraine’s State Emergency Service, the attack struck the top floor of a six-storey apartment block in one of the districts of the regional capital over the past 24 hours, Caliber.Az reports. 

The strike triggered a fire, which rescue workers managed to put out despite the continued threat of additional drone attacks in the area.

“No civilians were injured,” the emergency service said in a statement.
