Wave of drone attacks on the city of Lutsk

The city of Lutsk in western Ukraine experienced an intensive UAV attack this evening. According to local reports, a large number of "Shahed" unmanned aerial vehicles continue to arrive in the city's airspace, with security forces urging residents to leave the streets immediately.

According to Times of Ukraine, which maintains a distinctly pro-Ukrainian stance, one of the drones struck a residential area in Lutsk, and additional reports indicate a direct hit on the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) building in the city as reported by Times of Ukraine.

Dramatic footage distributed on social media, and published among others by Україна Online, shows the moment of impact from the dashcam of a driver who was only a few meters away from the epicenter of the explosion. The channel Україна⚡️Новини⚡️Війна confirmed that the attack on the city is still ongoing and that additional waves of UAVs continue to make their way toward the area.

Channel БАЙРАКТАР, which presents a position supporting Ukraine and its Western allies, also confirmed the strikes on residential buildings and the SBU headquarters, emphasizing that this is an ongoing and dangerous event for the city's residents.
