Damage in the Khmelnytskyi region

In Starokonstiantyniv, Khmelnytskyi region, a hotel and a two-story building were damaged as a result of the fall of debris from a Russian Shahed UAV, and fires broke out, Ukraine's State Emergency Service (SES) reported.

They noted that firefighters eliminated the fire, preventing it from spreading. Rescuers evacuated 40 people from the damaged hotel and house.

The SES added that during the rescue operations, Russia fired again. A funeral service store near the site of the previous hit, where rescuers were working, was destroyed. 

However, the SES personnel retreated to a safe distance, so none of the rescuers were injured.

The attack also damaged the roof of a hotel and a non-residential building. In addition, the blast wave damaged windows in one of the libraries in the region.
