On the night of November 12, Russian forces launched a massive attack on Rivne Oblast. As a result of the enemy strikes, over a hundred settlements were left without power, business property was damaged in the Sarny district, and a jet drone hit a residential home directly in the regional center.
New details regarding the night shelling and the work of bomb disposal experts were reported by the Main Department of the National Police in Rivne Oblast.
A house hit in Rivne and an undetonated warhead
One of the most dangerous incidents occurred directly in the city of Rivne, where a jet UAV hit a residential building. Fortunately, the enemy drone's warhead did not detonate upon impact.
Police bomb disposal specialists immediately arrived at the scene. Sappers professionally disarmed the dangerous ordnance and removed it to a temporary demolition site for subsequent controlled destruction.
Large-scale blackouts and strikes on business
According to updated information from law enforcement, the nighttime terror caused significant damage to the infrastructure and civilian sector of the region:
- due to damage to energy infrastructure facilities, over 100 settlements in the region were left without electricity supply;
- in the Sarny district, local business facilities came under enemy attack — several cars were destroyed there as a result of the attack.
Documenting Russian war crimes
Police bomb disposal experts thoroughly inspected every impact location and recovered fragments of enemy drones as physical evidence. Investigators from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the National Police, under the procedural guidance of the prosecutor's office, documented the consequences of the shelling as part of criminal proceedings under Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (Violation of the laws and customs of war).
The police once again urge residents of the oblast to be extremely cautious: if you find UAV fragments, do not approach them and immediately call the special hotline 102.
