In Vilnyansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian drones struck a residential area, injuring seven people—including three children—and causing a fire. Rescue workers quickly extinguished the fire, but the strike damaged nearby buildings and left behind significant destruction.
Civilians, including young children, were the hardest hit, and emergency services worked at the scene all night to address the aftermath of the attack and assist the injured.
According to the State Emergency Service, Russian drones attacked Vilnyansk, causing destruction in a residential area. Initially, several casualties were reported, but the number of injured later rose to seven people.

Following the strike, a fire broke out in the city covering an area of approximately 120 square meters, which rescue workers quickly contained and fully extinguished. The flames damaged not only the site of the strike but also neighboring private homes that were within the blast zone.
