A man was killed in the western Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankivsk on the evening of 8 October after debris from a Shahed-type attack drone fell on an administrative building, Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda reported.
According to the city's mayor, the victim was the building's watchman. The source does not say which institution the building belongs to, how much damage was caused, or whether anyone else was hurt.
What is known
Based on the information given, the man died not from a direct strike but because fragments of an unmanned aircraft fell on the building. Shahed drones are attack drones that Russia has used against Ukrainian cities since the start of its full-scale invasion.
Ivano-Frankivsk lies far from the front line, but cities in such regions are still sometimes hit or affected by air attacks.
No further details about the attack, including the number of drones used or other affected sites, were provided in the source.
