On the night of October 23, Russian troops attacked the Volyn region with rocket-powered drones. As a result of the strike, nearly 105,000 customers were left without power, and water supply was partially restricted in Lutsk.

According to the Volyn Regional State Administration, the region was attacked by “Shahed”-type jet drones. More than 10 drones were directed toward Volyn during the night.

Water supply was also partially restricted in Lutsk.

“Emergency crews are working around the clock and doing everything possible,” the Regional State Administration noted.

In addition, one person was injured and a house was damaged in the Lutsk district.

This was reported with reference to Roman Romanyuk, head of the Volyn Regional Military Administration.
