Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised retaliation after accusing Ukraine of carrying out a deadly attack on a student dormitory in an occupied part of eastern Ukraine. Six people were killed and 39 injured in the overnight strike in the town of Starobilsk, Luhansk region, Putin said. Another 15 people are reported missing. Ukraine’s military said it had struck the headquarters of Russia’s elite Rubicon drone unit in Starobilsk. It did not specify whether it was the same building that Russia had identified.
Ukraine's General Staff reported that the overnight strike targeted a Russian unit known for drone attacks on Ukrainian civilians. Russian media claims that Ukraine's strikes on civilian infrastructure in the temporarily occupied territories are 'another information manipulation,' Ukraine's General Staff said.
