Over the course of the day, Russian occupation forces carried out a series of massive drone strikes on the territory of Zhytomyr Oblast. The enemy targeted critical, transport, and fuel infrastructure facilities. During the documentation of the attack’s aftermath and the disposal of explosive devices, law enforcement officers came under a repeated enemy strike — five police officers were wounded.
This was reported by the Main Directorate of the National Police in Zhytomyr Oblast and the Zhytomyr Regional Military Administration.
Repeated strike on law enforcement officers
The most tragic episode occurred in Zhytomyr Raion. Police officers arrived at the site of the first hit to document the war crime of the Russian army and to remove explosive devices from the affected area.
At that moment, the enemy treacherously carried out a repeated strike on the territory. As a result of the explosion, five police officers received injuries and wounds of varying severity. All the injured are being urgently provided with the necessary qualified medical care.
Geography of destruction and property damage
During the day, the occupiers struck energy, transport, and fuel infrastructure facilities in the communities of Zhytomyr, Hlybochytska, Olevska, Zviahel, and Oliivska.
According to updated data from law enforcement, significant destruction of the civilian sector was recorded as a result of enemy hits and falling debris:
- private and multi-storey residential buildings were damaged;
- buildings and property of a private enterprise were destroyed;
- more than 20 vehicles were damaged, including passenger cars and trucks.
Eliminating the consequences of the enemy attack
At the impact sites in all affected communities, units of the State Emergency Service, police investigative and operational groups, explosive technicians, and medical personnel continue to work. Firefighters are extinguishing fires, and emergency energy crews are working to restore damaged networks. The pre-trial investigation into violations of the laws and customs of war is ongoing.
