Russian occupiers attacked four districts in the region with drones, artillery, and aerial bombs.

According to the Samarivka District State Administration, an evacuation has been ordered for residents of the Pishchanka community and the Orlivshchany Starosta District following an explosion in Pishchanka.

An explosion occurred in Pishchanka, Samarivsky District, as a result of a war crime committed by the Russian Federation.

One person was killed in the explosion. Eleven people were injured. Three private homes were destroyed, and 15 were damaged. People were evacuated from the epicenter of the explosion.
