Russian jet-powered drone strikes infrastructure facility in Ukraine's Kovel

A Russian jet-powered drone struck an infrastructure facility in the city of Kovel, in Ukraine's Volyn region, causing damage to private property, according to a report by Ukrinform.

The strike is the latest in a series of attacks by Russia using jet-powered drones and other aerial weapons against targets across Ukraine, part of an ongoing military campaign that has repeatedly targeted infrastructure sites since Russia's full-scale invasion of the country.

Ukrinform's report did not provide further detail on the scale of the damage caused to the infrastructure facility or the extent of the harm to private property in the surrounding area. It was also not immediately clear whether there were any casualties resulting from the strike.

Kovel, located in Ukraine's northwestern Volyn region near the border with Poland and Belarus, has periodically been targeted amid Russia's broader campaign against Ukrainian infrastructure, though it lies farther from the front lines than many other Ukrainian cities that have faced repeated bombardment.

Ukrainian authorities have regularly reported strikes on infrastructure facilities throughout the country as part of the ongoing war, with officials frequently highlighting damage from drone and missile attacks as evidence of the toll the conflict continues to take on civilian infrastructure.
