Five injured in Uman attack as Russian strikes cut power to Lutsk

5 people were injured in Uman, Cherkasy region, during Russian attacks overnight into Friday, 16 October, regional governor Ihor Taburets said, according to Current Time.

The attacks damaged a multi-storey residential building, where a balcony caught fire, according to Ukraine's State Emergency Service. A vehicle also burned, a security structure at the residential complex was destroyed and another fire was reported at a commercial site.

Separately, Lutsk in Volyn region lost its electricity supply. A city official said municipal services were operating on backup power while work continued to restore supply.

The Uman injuries and Lutsk power outage occurred in different cities. The supplied reporting did not link all the casualties to one location or establish a single total for the wider overnight attack.

In Kyiv, separate Russian strikes damaged buildings and disrupted water pressure in parts of the capital, according to city authorities quoted by the same outlet.

The article's casualty count is specific to Uman. The material did not establish deaths there, the full scale of the electricity interruption in Lutsk or when repairs would be complete.

Kyiv Post reported that three of the five people injured in Uman were hospitalised while two received assistance at the scene, citing regional authorities. This breakdown concerns only Uman.

A fire also affected commercial warehouses in Uman. Fire crews contained the blaze and an emergency response centre was established, according to the same report.

Another drone fell at a private business property in Cherkasy, where firefighters extinguished a separate fire and authorities reported no immediate injuries. That incident should not be confused with the residential building struck in Uman.

Regional governor Ihor Taburets urged residents to heed air-raid warnings after emergency crews began dealing with the damage. The power failure reported in Lutsk involved a different region, Volyn.
