According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, on October 5, the enemy carried out another series of drone strikes, resulting in numerous consequences for local residents and the city’s infrastructure.Rescue workers reported that in the Novobavarsky district, fires erupted, damaging several buildings, including infrastructure facilities, leading to destruction and temporary district isolation.
Additionally, in the Shevchenkivskyi district, a vehicle caught fire after being hit by a drone.
Overall, private houses, warehouses, garages, and several passenger cars were damaged during the attack.
Preliminary reports suggest at least four people were injured.
