The head of the Sloviansk City Military Administration, Vadym Lyakh, confirmed this incident, noting that in the evening and at night, the enemy forces launched a massive attack using "Geran-2" kamikaze drones. According to him, the attack was notable for its scale — a total of six drones were recorded, which deliberately attempted to destroy the facility on the territory of the construction base located in the Zaliznychny microdistrict. Lyakh emphasized that all hits fell precisely on this area, causing significant damage, although fortunately no casualties among local residents or workers were reported. Available information indicates that the attack resulted in the destruction of some premises and damaged the technical facilities across nearly the entire site. It is also known that the situation is currently under control of the defense forces, and information about potential additional consequences or planned measures to activate defense systems in this area is being further clarified. Experts note that such drone attacks by Russia are becoming more frequent, and their goal is to destabilize the region and undermine the capabilities of Ukrainian defense structures. Local authorities once again appeal to residents to stay alert and follow safety rules, and they also call on construction workers and neighborhood residents to exercise extra caution during such incidents. Residents of Sloviansk are already accustomed to periodic attacks and are currently trying to remain calm; at the same time, active investigations are underway regarding the circumstances of these tragic yet striking events. Official authorities warn of the possible recurrence of similar incidents and urge citizens to stay in safe locations and monitor official updates on the situation. The entire situation, with the confirmed attack, demonstrates an increase in military activity by Russia in the region aimed at destabilizing the situation, while Ukraine is enhancing its defensive measures and strengthening its defenses in response to such aggressive actions by its neighbor.
