Damage was also reported to a kindergarten building.
This marked the 19th drone attack on the city of three million people in October alone. The Ukrainian Air Force stated that the Russian military deployed 62 unmanned aerial vehicles against targets in Ukraine. Out of these, 33 were reportedly shot down over 10 regions in Ukraine while contact was lost with 25 others.
