Emergency crews extinguished large fires at civilian sites in Volyn Oblast caused by Russian shelling, the State Emergency Service said on Apr. 1.
Rescuers extinguished a fire at a Nova Poshta terminal, preventing it from spreading to the administrative building.

In Lutsk in Volyn Oblast, a Russian drone strike hit an industrial facility. A multi-story residential building was also damaged, with windows shattered and a fire breaking out on a top-floor balcony.
Overnight on April 1, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with 339 strike drones, including Shahed, Gerbera and Italmas types, about 200 of them Shaheds.
As of 8 a.m., air defenses had destroyed or suppressed 298 enemy drones. At the same time, 20 strike drones hit targets at 11 locations, and debris from downed drones fell at five locations.
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.
