“Hit on a residential building. There are dead and wounded,” Vilkul said in a Telegram post.
Regional officials later confirmed that two civilians were killed. This included a 43‑year‑old man and a 65‑year‑old woman.
Vilkul said the attack involved a Shahed‑type drone, widely used by Russian forces in strikes on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
Among the wounded was a nine‑month‑old child, who suffered a leg injury, and was urgently evacuated to hospital, where doctors are providing ongoing medical care.
The strike comes amid continued attacks across the region.
