According to the reports on Monday (2 December), on the night of Monday (2 December, local time), a Russian drone attack targeted the city of Ternopil in western Ukraine, causing significant damage to a residential high-rise building. The drone struck the top floor of the building, sparking a fire that quickly spread to several other floors. The flames caused widespread damage, and local officials confirmed that at least one person was killed in the attack.
Ternopil Mayor Serhiy Nadal reported that the fire led to injuries as well, with three individuals wounded in the strike. The State Emergency Service was quick to respond, with emergency teams working through the night to extinguish the fire and assist the injured. The response also included setting up temporary shelters for those who were displaced by the attack.
Despite being located hundreds of kilometers from the front lines of the ongoing conflict, Ternopil is not typically a target for Russian strikes, making this attack particularly shocking for residents. The incident highlights the continuing threat posed by drone attacks, even in areas far from direct combat zones. Local authorities have expressed their determination to support those affected by the incident and to ensure the safety of the city’s residents.
Doctors and medical staff have been working tirelessly to treat the wounded, with Mayor Nadal emphasizing that every effort is being made to save the lives of those injured. The situation in Ternopil remains tense, as authorities continue their response and investigation into the attack. The city’s population of roughly 225,000 is left to deal with the aftermath of an attack that has brought the war closer to their home.
