KYIV, 09 May 2022, (TON): The regional governor said “as many as 60 people were feared to have been killed in the Russian bombing of a village school in the eastern Ukrainian region of Luhansk.”
Governor Serhiy Gaidai said Russian forces dropped a bomb on Saturday afternoon on the school in Bilohorivka where about 90 people were sheltering, causing a fire that engulfed the building.
Gaidai wrote on the Telegram messaging app “the fire was extinguished after nearly four hours, then the rubble was cleared, and, unfortunately, the bodies of two people were found.”
“Thirty people were evacuated from the rubble, seven of whom were injured. Sixty people were likely to have died under the rubble of buildings.”
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
