Death Toll in Starobilsk Dorm Strike Rises to 10
Putin said 16 drones hit the dormitory and ordered the military to prepare retaliation options as rescue crews searched for missing students.
- On Friday, a Ukrainian drone strike hit a student dormitory at Luhansk Pedagogical University in Starobilsk, killing at least four people and wounding 35 children, Russian officials reported.
- About 86 teenagers aged 14 to 18 were sleeping inside the facility when the overnight attack occurred, according to Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova, who described it as a "civilian facility where children study and live."
- The Kremlin condemned the strike as a "monstrous crime," with spokesman Dmitry Peskov demanding justice, while Russia's Investigative Committee alleged Ukraine used four UAVs in the attack.

- Russia's Defence Ministry reported that 217 Ukrainian drones were shot down overnight across the country, as rescuers continue searching the Starobilsk rubble for survivors despite threats of further UAV attacks.
