Two 14-year-old boys and one 13-year-old boy were injured in a Russian drone strike on a family-type orphanage housing a total of 12 children in the town of Marhanets in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the Ukrainian Internal Ministry reported on Telegram on July 13, sharing photos of the site of the attack.

The children were given first aid for blast injuries by local police before the ambulance arrived. All services are at the scene of the attack.

This follows an earlier report by the governor of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Yevhen Yevtushenko, on July 20 that Russian artillery had shelled a settlement in the Nikopol district, causing significant damage to a school.
