Russian drones spark massive fire in Volyn Oblast
A massive fire broke out at an enterprise in the village of Tsuman on the administrative border of Ukraine’s western Volyn and Rivne oblasts after an overnight Russian drone and missile attack, the State Emergency Service reported on Telegram on Sep. 10, posting photos of the aftermath.
The 1,000-square-meter fire has been extinguished.
Several dozen Russian drones were spotted over the oblast overnight.
According to Lutsk Mayor Ihor Polischuk, drone debris was found in several locations across the city.
There were no reported casualties.
Russian forces launched 415 drones and fired 43 missiles at Ukraine overnight. Eight of the drones flew into Polish territory.
Earlier that day, Poland’s military announced that it had shot down drones that violated its airspace during a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine. This is the first time Poland has taken such a step, which constitutes a major provocation for Europe and NATO forces.
Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki has called an emergency cabinet meeting in response to the airspace violation.
Ahead of the meeting, Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk was consulting with the key ministers responsible for defense and security.
The Polish territorial army says it has shortened the time for reporting for duty and has posted a map.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
