Russian drones hit residential buildings in Odesa region

On the night of June 11, the Russian military shelled Izmail and Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky districts of the region with Shahed-type kamikaze drones.

According to the Izmail District State Administration, despite the active work of air defense forces, which shot down some of the enemy drones, the attack resulted in hits to several private houses in the Vilkovo community.

"Fires broke out in five of them, which are being extinguished by the State Emergency Service units," the DSA added.

The prosecutor's office, in turn, has already launched an investigation into the commission of war crimes. According to them, the attack damaged the civilian infrastructure of Izmail and Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky districts.

"In particular, country houses, outbuildings, civilian boats, warehouses and cars were damaged," the agency said.

The inspection is ongoing, and a full list of destruction and damage is being established. At the scene, prosecutors, in cooperation with other law enforcement officers, are documenting the consequences of Russia's armed aggression.
