Overnight on 12 November, the Russians attacked Volyn Region with jet-powered Shahed-type drones. Kovel District was among the areas hit.
The head of the Volyn Regional Military Administration, Roman Romaniuk, reported this.
In Kovel, a fire broke out after a Russian drone fell on the grounds of a customs terminal. Lorries and a fuel tanker were on fire.
One person was injured. There is no threat to their life or health.
Ukraine’s State Emergency Service shared details of the shelling. It said a man born in 1972 was injured.
While tackling the blaze, rescuers cooled nearby vehicles and pulled two more large lorries loaded with fuel to a safe distance. Because of the threat of a repeat strike, operations were temporarily suspended. The fire has now been extinguished.
