Details: Romaniuk added that all the appropriate emergency services are working at the scene to deal with the aftermath of the attack.

Early reports indicate that there were no casualties.

"The wind is blowing towards the settlement, so I urge local residents, where possible, to remain indoors, keep windows and doors tightly closed, switch off ventilation systems that draw in outside air, and avoid going outdoors unless absolutely necessary. The situation is serious but under control," the head of the administration said.
