A Russian attack on Vinnytsia overnight left two women hurt and damaged a kindergarten and residential buildings, Vinnytsia mayor Serhiy Morhunov wrote on social media on Friday morning. He said both had been taken to hospitals, where they were being treated.
Morhunov said a fire broke out in one residential building, while the blast wave damaged private houses, apartment blocks and the kindergarten. Emergency crews were working at the affected sites, he added, without giving further detail on the casualties' condition or the scope of the damage.
The city has come under repeated Russian fire this week. An overnight Russian strike hit the broader Vinnytsia region on Thursday, damaging energy facilities and homes, and a drone attack on the nearby town of Ladyzhyn killed two people and damaged civilian infrastructure on Monday, Kyiv Post reported.
