Today, during the latest enemy attack on Lutsk, fragments of a Russian jet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle fell on the city. A large-scale fire broke out at the "Yevrohurt" wholesale store on Koniakina Street. The fire engulfed the entire building. (...) The fragments also damaged an apartment on the ninth floor of a residential building on Sobornosti Avenue
According to him, there is no fire in the building.
Initially, it was reported that "nine people had been injured as a result of the enemy attack on Lutsk. Among them is a child," which was confirmed at first by Andrii Razumovskyi, secretary of the Lutsk City Council and acting mayor of Lutsk.
As Romaniuk clarified in a video comment, "a jet-powered ‘Shahed’ directly damaged the building of the ‘Yevrohurt’ store—a wholesale outlet for European goods." According to him, "there was information that both employees and visitors might still be inside the building that had been engulfed in flames. (...) Only after it becomes possible to enter the building will it be possible to understand how... difficult the situation is, and whether the information that there were additional visitors and employees there will indeed be confirmed."
