Authorities in the Russia-occupied Luhansk region of Ukraine said on Saturday that at least 10 people had died after a Ukrainian military drone strike hit a university complex and dorm area.
Russia's state-run news agency RIA reported on Saturday that 12 people have been confirmed dead, citing the emergency ministry.
The incident took place in the community of Starobilsk in the early hours of Friday. Starobilsk is located about 65 kilometers (40 miles) from the front line in east Ukraine.
The town has been in the hand of Russian forces since they captured it in 2022, shortly after launching their full-scale offensive against Ukraine.
