In the evening, distressing news about another airstrike by Russian forces echoed across Cherkasy Region. According to Ihor Taburets, the head of the Cherkasy Regional Military Administration, several residential buildings, a garage, and a gas pipe were damaged as a result of falling debris from shot-down aerial targets. Due to this, part of one village was left without electricity, creating additional difficulties for local residents who are already coping with the consequences of war. According to Taburets, debris from downed drones hit a low-pressure gas pipeline, causing a fire directly in the yards of local residents. The fire was promptly extinguished, but damages remained. In addition to the destruction of residential buildings, a wooden garage was destroyed. As a result of the shelling, part of the village was left without electricity, and repair works are currently underway. The regional leader reported that the air defense forces shot down 18 Russian unmanned aerial vehicles during the attack. While the attack caused significant destruction, there were no injuries among the residents, which is undoubtedly the most important outcome. As Taburets notes, the situation remains tense, and regional authorities are doing everything possible to minimize the consequences of such attacks. They emphasize the importance of remaining calm and strengthening safety measures to ensure the protection of residents. Repair work to restore electricity is underway, and all responsible services are working around the clock to restore normalcy as quickly as possible. Local residents and authorities are urged to be cautious and follow safety advice, as the war continues to strike at the peaceful lives of people. The situation is currently under control, but the consequences of the attack will affect the lives of the local community for a long time. Additional repair and infrastructure restoration work is expected in the coming days, and authorities will continue to monitor the situation closely.
