Quote from Chaus: "The Russians struck a house in Semenivka with a drone today. The house was damaged. Police officers arrived at the site of the attack. There was a repeat strike. Very devious. Four people were injured: a 59-year-old civilian woman and three police officers. All of them are receiving medical treatment in hospital."
