Russian forces on 16 October attacked western Ukraine, targeting the Rivne region and the Volyn region. These areas lie far from the front line, so strikes there affect populated places and civilian infrastructure.
In the city of Rivne, a lyceum, a general secondary school, was hit. The source does not say how badly the building was damaged or whether anyone was hurt there.
In Kovel, a city in the Volyn region, about 10 trucks with semi-trailers are on fire. One person has been reported injured. The report does not specify the type of weapon used, who owned the vehicles, or the condition of the injured person.
The attack continues Russian strikes on Ukraine's rear regions during the war that Russia launched against Ukraine. The information is preliminary, and details about the consequences may be updated.
